Poor Management, Poor Retention, and Non-existent morale.

Pros

Qumulo has great benefits, aside from not having any sort of 401k matching. Health and dental are generously equipped. Breakroom and snacks are plentiful, if you're in the office. Engineering side of the house is really great and has wonderful leadership and support structures, as well as room to grow. Sales/Marketing/Business Dev are a nightmare.

Cons

HR department is non-existent, so you're pretty much on your own there. Compensation is low to semi-average for most roles, which is a bummer since there's no 401k match. In a span of two years, they had 9 c-suite executive individuals leave their positions. Nine. On top of that, it's exceedingly rare to see anyone that has been with the company longer than 2 years outside of Engineering. Turnover is on an unprecedented scale and it's often sad to see how people are fired with essentially no warning, reasoning, or severance. They recently let go a couple dozen people and did not provide any explanation to the company. There is little to no visibility into what is actually going on with senior leadership and transparency meetings are very often misleading. The "good ole boy club" is very much in effect here and spans across all non-engineering departments. If you have other offers, I'd take them before going to Qumulo.

Pros

Free snacks, decent swag and if you lie low you can weather the chaos and executive bullying.

Cons

Marketing leadership is frightening. The CMO has divided sales and marketing and fired some of the best people Qumulo had, or ran them out the door. If your political views don’t align, you will be targeted with aggression and closed door bully tactics. The rest of the executive team is either blind to the behavior or don’t care. Neither is good.

Pros

- the liberating euphoria of not caring and sharing the ugly truth plaguing Qumulo openly and honestly. - gratifying feeling of one foot out the door after long tour of duty for a company I once believed in.

Cons

CEO: failure to listen to and decisively address employee complaints about members of leadership. - CEO: failure to do the hard right thing (a core value) and instead campaign to promote positive Glassdoor reviews as a method to suppress real culture issues. - Investors: failure to demand change after mediocre sales results against company goals. - Investors: letting greed mask what is right and moral - Investors: failing to encourage employees to speak honestly and without fear of retribution. - CMO: publishing a self-aggrandizing personal ‘user manual’ as theoretical evidence of an idealistic management style while practicing a reality orthogonal to his management manifesto. - CMO. Perpetuating echo chamber of self affirmation through favoritism driving corrosive behavior among his team.
