D2iQ Reviews

I'm going to give a very high level review - the founders are all super green... and the CEO and President were entirely full of themselves and overestimated their abilities due to wining large deals they had no business winning. Not built to be a sustainable infrastructure company. Engineering was able to only hit 10% of their goals in the last year. The inability to shift from Marathon and fully incorporate K8s... and a bunch of sales folks who had neither the talent nor interest in selling a vision above the money line landed them in the IT basement without champions. In short, a disaster. This new management team doesn't know the space, and anyone who has any talent sees exactly what is going on and is voting with their feet.

As much as the company sees itself like a rocket ship, I feel like it is better to compare them to the Titanic waiting for an iceberg to hit. One of the biggest issues they have is the management team. The team is a frat/boys club that is filled with people who lack experience and are winging it. Employees are forced to do whatever this inexperienced team says and questioning things won't get you anywhere and pretty much not allowed in this frat house. If they want to get anywhere, the board needs to clean house and get qualified people in to attempt to fix the mess of a company they have now. Other issues they have is the high turnover rate, they are losing more people than they can hire, lack of culture, little to no career growth (unless you are in management), and a hacky product (overpromise and under deliver often). Also, ever hear the saying "HR is not there for you, they're there for the company"? It is undeniable at Mesosphere that HR is never there for you and only hears about your grievances to keep up their "we care!" facade and to look out for possible lawsuits or legal issues. HR also runs around touting these core values that are a joke because no one up top really follows them. Lastly +1 on the whole "Toxic Environment" review.
