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.

Pros

I've been with NuoDB for a number of years now: the focus of the company has improved markedly. For a while we were chasing any dollar we could find, which led to some schizophrenic (and not productive) requirements and unfair burdens on the dev team. In the last 12-18 months that has (mostly) stopped and we've identified a reasonable target market and taken the time to stabilize the product. * Fantastic, smart people * Challenging and exciting technology * Great environment: open, collaborative, transparent mgmt team * Flexible: work from home is fine, good PTO * Good work/life balance: taking vacation is encouraged, family responsibilities are taken seriously. I've worked many places, even bigger companies, with much worse attitudes. * Move to Alewife... much more convenient (and less expensive)

Cons

* Codebase is showing some age. * Even with tighter focus we have more things we need to do than people to do them. * Emphasis on a few large accounts is great for the company but need to be careful that it's good for the product, too. * Move to Alewife... Kendall is much more fun. At least it's still a quick, convenient T ride away from Cambridge.
