Senior Solutions Architect • Current Employee
Pros: Part of Pre-Sales Organization
Culture: Extremely employee-friendly culture. A culture of goodness. I can say this with authority as I have experienced and worked in multiple locations as a full-time employee (including the USA). The employee-first culture reflects in all aspects of the company. Very transparent and democratic approach to changes.
Benefits: Unmatched benefits, especially in the USA.
Product: 'Ease of Everything' reflects in all aspects of product development. While not from Engineering, I have been very much exposed to the PM and Engineering teams thanks to my role focused mainly on Large Accounts. Everyone from SREs to Staff Engineers to Pre-Sales SAs considers the product their own baby and is very vocal if any product change messes up with the 'easy and simple' part of the philosophy.
Technology: You are exposed to cutting-edge tech and processes irrespective of your team. Many joke about how our Cassandra core to manage metadata is no longer a NoSQL DB or how we made VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, etc., great again. Our KVM-based Hypervisor AHV gives a true enterprise-class experience. You are part of the next big thing and one of the highest-growing tech companies in the DC segment.
Cons: No major cons as of now.
Avoid ego fights with early builders at layers 2 and 3 (rare but they do occur) until you prove yourself within the system.
