Pluspunten

Good salary. Good wellness benefits. Smart people to work with. Modern tech stack.

Minpunten

This is an unstable company. The company laid off almost 75 % of its employees in early June due to lack of funding. It has barely 10-12 employees now. Employees staying back have also started looking for jobs. Even though the company had funding problems, it kept on hiring. Kept on painting a picture that everything is good up till a week before layoff. Hire and Fire culture: Close to 15 engineers left/were fired within a year before mass layoff. Most engineers leave this company after working for around an year. The more experienced engineers have also left now. CTO: CTO/founder is inexperienced in management. He tries to micromanage all the time. Always goes with the hacky approach which eventually breaks. He is the reason for failure of the company. I feel the newly hired CEO, Head of Engineering, India and the Engineering manager were mere puppets. All were laid off. Nepotism: The son of India engineering head was hired as an intern. The wife of the CTO also worked for some time with the company. Never heard or seen such kind of nepotism in tech companies.

Pluspunten

Great people. Excellent new business opportunities and AI product direction. New leadership are experienced and deeply connected in silicon valley. Engineers are pushed to produce but given autonomy and interesting work.

Minpunten

Management moves very rapid with good results but also some mistakes. Top leaders most certainly know what they are about but for employees the direction is sometimes a surprise because not adequately written and communicated. It is hard for us on the team to feel energy and enthusiasm if not better included.

Pluspunten

- Dgraph has a great product. It is the #1 open-source GraphDB on GitHub, and many fortune 500 companies use it. I speak with prospects and customers from time to time, and it's rare to work for a company that your customers thank you for building such a fantastic product. - Dgraph has a very talented team. It has a tight culture where everyone deeply believes in the mission. No matter which team you reach out, they're all in such high caliber and have tons of knowledge that you can learn from. - Dgraph gave me a lot of opportunities that I never had before in my previous role. Because I joined an early-stage startup, you have opportunities to take on projects that directly impact the growth of the business. It's a very cool experience when you see the projects/initiatives you implemented to make an impact.

Minpunten

Dgraph is built with a distributed team. We have team members all over the globe. It can be a challenge to coordinate and work with time from different timezones.
