MapR Technologies Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

- Customer first attitude throughout whole company - Challenging and interesting work - Amazing colleagues - Great technology - Good work/life balance

Cons

For me there is really not a single negative thing

Pros

Good work for some people.

Cons

Stressful work environment, mainly because of micromanagement. Forget Work Life Balance. Working on Weekends.

Pros

Not much good to write about this company.

Cons

Bad management! No work life balance.

Pros

Good work/life balance (if you know how to fight for your own good, don't be afraid to escalate to HR)

Cons

- Unfair performance evaluation: very very very little bonus (50% in stock which is basically no value) and it's not based on how good your performance is or how hard you work. It's literally based on management's discretion (aka if they like you or not, could be nothing even when you are a super star in the team). - Layoffs: LOTS OF layoffs due to company not performing or even politics - Security/Privacy: management overrides lots of internal controls in the company. Do not expect your email privacy is secured in this company. - No room to grow: management is trying to secure their jobs so acting like control freak and unwilling to develop talented people. - Lousy treatment when you give 2-week notice: they started to make you work EVERY single minute (even when you are sick or have emergency) and take away your bonus no matter how good your performance have been/how hard you have worked

Pros

- rock-solid product with incredible customer references pushing the envelope on cutting-edge applications - mature management team with realistic expectations on work/life balance and company growth - a proven business model that is winning out in the market. on an incredible growth path with incredibly low customer turn-over (1%)

Cons

- Internal communications is being improved and is a known issue. Need better communication and collaboration between groups as we grow - Under-invested in marketing historically which has allowed other companies to paint a negative picture of MapR. Lack of awareness historically, but I think it it being fixed and big strides in marketing and sales are driving the next phase of growth

Pros

- Best products in the industry - Great work life balance - Irreplaceable culture as I was part of a real family

Cons

- Needs stronger global alliance partners to be successful - Too many re-structure and layoffs which impacts partner eco system and moralle

Pros

Challenging, rewarding work. Company has a strong product and a bright business outlook. Strong team of individual contributors.

Cons

Upper management doesn't understand people or work/life balance. Compensation is on the lower end of average. Overwork and burnout is frequent.

Pros

Great folks Good work life balance

Cons

Not sure of the IPO prospects

Pros

Cons

there's bad work life balance

Pros

Work/life balance is good. Lots of remote workers. Smart worker bees

Cons

No career growth No culture Bi-yearly reorgs No 401k matching A palpable sense that negative change is coming, if not already (layoffs?). New (former) ceo, new cro, no cmo, no coo, two ctos, new and cheaper multi-tenant hq, less perks.
