Pros
- Competitive compensation - Groundbreaking technology concept with immense potential - Highly scalable business model appealing to engineering organizations of varying sizes - Versatile product offerings (SaaS or licensed) enhancing market appeal - Exceptional branding and design expertise, albeit with a larger-than-average design and web team for a company of this scale. Their work speaks for itself.
Cons
- Across departments, maturity is lacking, save for PM. - Despite seemingly constant commitments to inclusivity, pockets of the company foster a high-pressure environment due to inexperience and misaligned priorities, resulting in homogeneous hiring, and weirdly, firing as well. - Notably, targeted firings have been a staple at Hasura, casting a shadow over the ostensibly positive company culture and making newly necessary layoffs that much more disconcerting. - Junior employees thrive simply taking orders from the founders, while senior hires depart or are let go prematurely after voicing concerns, contributing to a revolving door of good talent. This is starting to gain Hasura a reputation despite its small size. - Founders' impulsive decision-making undermines strategic planning, leading to inflated expectations and haphazard cost-cutting, tarnishing the company's image and financial health. Cost cutting measures always fail because of an inability to make decisions. Instead of cutting costs, they’re simply delayed until the last possible second, when the same things are actually significantly more expensive. In short, Hasura is Chaos, and not in a good, fun, startup way most of the time.
