Pros

When I was first hired, there were a lot of pros about this job, including the integrity of working for an open-source software company. My expertise was highly needed and there was an unending list of problems to solve.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, company vision, and appreciation for the importance of operational systems in running every aspect of the business. There is a huge branding issue, in that no one know who EDB is, and for some reason the leadership thinks that demolishing the marketing team and laying everyone off is a great way to solve that problem...

Pros

EDB is totally one of those rare companies where the mission and the people align perfectly. We’re at the forefront of enterprise Postgres and AI and that’s not just marketing speak. It’s the reality of our work every single day. The team is incredibly talented, collaborative, and generous with their knowledge. Whether you’re working across engineering, product, or customer-facing roles, you’ll find people who are deeply invested in both the technology and each other’s success. Leadership has a clear, compelling vision for where EDB is headed, especialy around sovereign data and AI; they communicate this with conviction. It’s empowering to work somewhere where you can see the roadmap and understand how your contributions fit into the big picture. Career growth is real here. EDB lives its core value of “Grow and Evolve”. I’ve experienced it firsthand, and I’ve watched colleagues step into bigger roles as the company continues to scale.

Cons

EDB moves fast, which is mostly a feature, not a bug. If you thrive in a high-energy environment and enjoy wearing multiple hats, you’ll love it. Those who prefer a slower, more structured pace may find the workload demanding at times.
