Pros

Relaxed work atmosphere, you can start at 9am and finish at 4pm with 1-1.5 hours lunch.

Cons

Senior management tries to concentrate all decisions on their own. Not only strategic ones but also such small things like: where some checkbox should be drawn on screen. CTO knows only buzzwords but wants to be involved into any technical discussions. He won't be able to explain you the difference between Presto and Spark or Mesos and YARN but he makes decision what to use without any debates just based of his the latest impression during some conference. Because of unprofessionalism in senior management previous year Zoomdata lost almost all their key-developers and engineers turnover in 2016 was near 45%. The only engineering culture which works in Zoomdata is "I don't care".
