Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with our Wellness Fridays, benefits, and the teammates you've worked with — we take pride in building a supportive environment and fostering strong peer relationships. That said, we’re genuinely sorry to hear your concerns around culture, product direction, and turnover, especially within our sales organisation. Feedback like yours is important and helps us reflect on where we need to improve. EDB is evolving to meet changing market needs, including responsibly exploring AI and adjacent technologies. Our intention is not to lose sight of our core mission or customers, but to innovate in ways that complement and enhance our strengths in Postgres. We understand that transitions can create uncertainty, and we’re actively working to ensure clarity, alignment, and continued support across all teams. We also recognise that organisational change, particularly in fast-moving environments, can create challenges. That’s why we’re investing in leadership development, clearer communications, and reinforcing a culture rooted in transparency, collaboration, and impact. We’re grateful for your contributions during your time here and appreciate your candid input. If you’d be open to a further conversation with your People Partner, we’d welcome the opportunity to learn more from your experience. — The EDB Team

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.
