Pros

Pay and generous home office allowance.

Cons

Micro-management and disrespect from supervisor. During an introductory call with a representative from the government, who was not at all happy with the company's compliance efforts prior to my arrival, my direct supervisor told this person when referring to me, that he would "drive him like a mule and make it a full-time job!" How disrespectful is that? I knew at that point that it wasn't a good fit and I resigned shortly after that. I wrote an email to the company president to tell him why I had resigned after only a month, thinking I owed him an explanation, but I never received the courtesy of a reply.

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.
