Pros
Terrific transparent culture. Unique company values centered on Creating Value and Being Valued. Leadership is approachable. Colleagues are respectful and play together to win - people here genuinely want to see one another succeed. Remote work flexible. Supportive of career development and very open to finding new internal paths. The database market of $100B+ is undergoing a massive transformation and Couchbase is in a great position to be successful. Very exciting opportunity.
Cons
Can't think of much in terms of cons... Stay focused and execute

No culture, no process, no problem!
Sep 19, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Outstanding people. Good Pay, 100% remote work, Exciting technology that touches many use cases and technologies.
Cons
Couchbase had an amazing culture. People had fun building the things our customers wanted. We had an organized and transparent process. Above all, everyone had a say and a seat at the table. Roadmapping was a team effort and everyone bought in. Work was sized and agreed on as a team. Estimates were done based on the effort to engineer the solution. Then came the major engineering change. Top level managers now dictate the work to be done and when it will be done. Engineers are burning out rapidly and there is massive turnover. All Hands team syncs are no more and everyone is working on whatever work is thrown at them, which changes weekly as there is no more work transparency. Too much focus was spent scrambling to build a major pet project that the core service was ignored. Now everyone has to rush to address the features that were shelved in favor of management's baby. Cue more burnout...

Great market opportunity and outstanding culture
Dec 20, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Company continues to execute consistently six quarters in as a public company. There is a real great market opportunity with the database market going through a major transformation. The product and engineering team is first class and we've seen some great new additions on the go-to-market side of the business. Finally, I really believe the company lives to its values, which makes it a great place to work.
Cons
Continue to grow market and developer awareness.

Leading the Market In Cloud Transformation
Sep 14, 2022 - Regional Director of SalesRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The world is looking for a better way to drive their next generation applications. Couchbase's cloud solution Capella has changed the market, and we are well positioned for hypergrowth. The company has moved so far in the last year its hard to fathom. All my reps are exceeding plan, and have an even better 2023 shaping up.
Cons
Can't hire good candidates fast enough. The Couchbase paradigm shift flies in face of conventional wisdom, need to do a lot of education on the art of the possible with leaders, and market more strategically around our ability to help companies out-innovate their competitors.

Pros
Company has fantastic vision of the path ahead with Capella! The leadership entirely aligned and communicate this out well to company. Huge momentum & excitement building around the next half & next fiscal year. People are recognised for their efforts in contributing the company goals and people around you are always willing to help with your efforts
Cons
Nothing that’s not common to other companies - investment underway in much needed system enhancements, tooling. A lot already in place !
