Pros

The new leadership team is focused on building the next great software company, they are unafraid to make the tough decisions required to move us forward. They are honest about the challenges and opportunity. The technology is complex, however, the analytic capabilities tied to massive amounts of streaming data and geospatial rendering are unmatched. Kinetica runs on all major cloud providers (Azure, AWS, Google, Oracle, etc) and will soon be releasing a pure cloud version of the product.

Cons

The company has gone through a lot of change due to poor business decisions made over the past couple of years which were only made worse by the pandemic. We have some people who would prefer "the old way", and resist the realities of our changing market. Lastly, the product's complexity is especially evident during implementations which results in varying forms of consultative assistance.

Pros

The first thing I immediately noticed when I joined almost a year ago was the level of expertise and depth of technical knowledge of everyone in the company. I am constantly learning something new every single day by working with some of the smartest engineers I have worked with in my 20-year career in technology. Having come from a long career in consumer web products, it has been refreshing to work on core technology powering the enterprise and working with data and performance at scale. A recent solid round of funding has given the company the ability to scale quickly and enter many new markets while being able to grow engineering to achieve some amazing milestones in the product. Work-life balance and flexibility is also a plus. Leads understand work doesn't always need to happen between fixed hours of the day. Team members respect and appreciate each other enough that everyone will get the job done in a timely, professional, and performant manner. Culture of open communication and candor with understanding that we work as a team and any individual improvements contributes to more successful team. We are constantly innovating and solving fun and challenging problems.

Cons

Just going through typical challenges of scaling, growing, and maturing from startup to a high performance organization. Slowly hiring key roles needed for growing teams and putting in place necessary processes and methodology so things are getting better every day.
