Pros
CockroachDB is a great product with a lot of market potential and good brand awareness.
Cons
If you want opportunities for professional growth and work/ life balance look elsewhere. In the last year, the company has made a shift away from employee well being and growth. There has also been a big shift away from DEI and bro culture has taken over, so if you're looking for a diverse, inclusive environment, this is not the place for you. Remote work is no longer valued, and the company has shifted its strategy back to being office first (with badge access being tracked). Poor leadership with a lot of management hires based on previous working relationships and not on qualifications, limiting internal promotion opportunities. The company laid off 15% of its workforce (under the guise of money savings) while simultaneously hiring aggressively. Attrition and additional layoffs should be anticipated.
