Pros
- It doesn't really matter, as the cons outweigh any positives, but: there are several brilliant and hard-working people there. Their dedication is the only thing keeping the company afloat.
Cons
- If you decide to leave the company, Denodo will refuse to pay any pending sales commissions they owe you. In my case, it was a considerable amount of money earned several months before my departure. The orders to withhold pay come straight from the top. They do this because they believe they can get away with it and trust former employees won't sue them. - Very poor leadership in upper management. Employees are not trusted to do the right thing and are heavily micromanaged (office attendance, working hours, management reporting, expenses, etc.), leading to a toxic work environment. - Compensation, time-off, perks, and benefits offered are below market level. - "Employee development" is not a thing. The company doesn't invest anything in employee education or training. Also, Denodo is not growing fast, so it doesn't offer a lot of options to advance in your career once you're in. - The technology is very niche (only useful in a handful of scenarios) and the business model is very antiquated, with rigid licensing and very traditional deployment strategies. The product is far behind current software industry standards and best practices.
