The people are kind, intelligent, and results oriented. The executive team operates with a high degree of trust and respect. The values are meaningful and lived throughout the company. Healthcare is FREE.

Cons

Most everyone is remote, making it more challenging to build relationships.

Pros

Met some really great people. Benefits and wellness reimbursement were great

Cons

Paid significantly less than other colleagues in the same role. They constantly cocked up wages and would conveniently not pay out spiffs which were designed to incentivise the team. Told that we would get a sign up bonus and then that didn’t materialise when it was time to pay up, and was told ‘it was never signed off on’. Other incentives like Amazon vouchers never got paid/ sent. They never enabled the team correctly, all enablement sessions were around the product and not teaching the team how to operate better in order to meet the ever increasing targets. None of the team are consistent in achieving targets but yet they get raised. Motion after motion change, and expected to still be able to perform despite taking time out of our diaries with 1/1.5hr meetings, expecting us to essentially do the AES job and demo the product and then giving us extra admin tasks to do which the salesforce dashboards already provide the answers to. And finally ZERO progression, the only person I saw get promoted got fired a week later.

Pros

Smart and motivated people to work with.

Cons

Constant context shifting; not always logical or sensible

Pros

There are some great opportunities to stretch professional growth at DataStax which is why I joined. I have an amazing coach and the team I am on has some of the best professionals I've ever worked with.

Cons

DataStax is working on its DEI programs, which are not to the level of other tech companies, but there is movement and progress being made.

Pros

Leadership vision and driving growth and alignment with solving strategic customer challenges. DataStax has incredible products that deliver real value. Engaged sales leadership in your success. We live our core values and are teamwork minded.

Cons

As we grow, we need to balance our priorities. Startups move fast and focus on execution. We are challengers of the status quo, which requires all employees to embrace change more than some other companies.

Pros

The technology is great for solving big data problems without requiring a lot of extra architecting. There are a lot of smart people working here who are passionate about what they do.

Cons

It’s a smaller company so some processes are still being refined. If you like startups, you’ll love it here.

Pros

Amazing culture and a truly unique technology stack. If you demonstrate capability, drive, etc., you will be given more responsibility.

Cons

Fast paced and change is a constant. Career progression can be a bit murky.
