Still a fun startup

Pros

* Management is very smart, sane, and transparent. Execs sit in the desk farm with everyone else. * Highly skilled engineering team doing amazing work on the product. * Fiscally responsible (i.e., moving out of downtown to save money; nice, but not lavish, parties and gifts). * Well stocked kitchen and you can request other items. * An enormous business opportunity. * Friendly culture - low finger-pointing, blaming, red-tape. Very much a "get-it-done" place. * Top-end Mac laptops and whatever other hardware you need. * Good work/life balance with flexible WFH arrangements. * Nice mix of on- and off-site social opportunities.

Cons

* Since it's a startup, it's not immune to stressful times, especially around product releases. * There are considerable engineering challenges to be overcome, but therein lies the opportunity. * The current office space has drawbacks in terms of noise level and meeting space, but the company is moving in the spring. * The "employee review/rating" form is outdated and doesn't fit with our culture. This is the biggest con.

Pros

Interesting, game-changing technology. New management team. CEO (Bob Walmsley) has stressed transparency and accountability from the top down. Regular, plain-talk communications from management with emphasis on clarity. Moving to Alewife in April 2017. Company rewards high performance.

Cons

Kendall Sq location can be a pain to get to. Moving to Alewife in April 2017.

Pros

The best things about working at NuoDB are: 1) Working with smart, engaging and collegiate colleagues. 2) Solving hard computer science problems. 3) Working directly with customers to understand their needs, and iterating designs and solutions with them. 4) Having a real impact on deciding on our strategy and how we execute it. 5) Trying to accomplish something unique. 6) People are trusted to manage their time and projects effectively.

Cons

NuoDB is still a startup, which means: 1) At times it is all hands on deck to try and accomplish something to a tight deadline (most of us thrive in this kind of environment, thankfully!) 2) We are resource constrained, which means we need to be creative in our approach to solving problems.
