Vantaggi

Altiscale employs some of the brightest Hadoop innovators and engineers who are making significant contributions in the areas of compute bursting, multi-tenancy, and monitoring. The salaries and benefits are quite competitive and the company appears to be on the leading edge of the big data analytics space from a technical perspective

Svantaggi

The executive management team appears to be vacuous, deliberately incurious and decidedly dishonest as they offer zero value while revenue and new customer count has declined quarter by quarter - leading to a major layoff. Despite irrefutable evidence, in the form of lost deals and declining revenue, the management team arrogantly sticks to their assumptions and dismisses well meaning and studied advice from the rank and file while they blatantly mislead employees and candidates about the status of the company.

Vantaggi

Experienced management who have all done successful startups before. Management is fairly accessible, with a weekly all-hands meeting and a regular all-hands offsite. Great team of Hadoop engineers, operators and architects. If anyone can make Hadoop run smoothly, this team can. There are plenty of perks, including Friday lunches, flexible hours, unlimited vacation, and snacks/drinks. The company has many customers, and they seem to be happy. It seems most are increasing their purchases over time.

Svantaggi

Altiscale is not immune to the typical challenges of a startup. Sales are not landing as fast as the company had hoped, which has led to a layoff. Management continues to work on the product mix, moving up-stack in an attempt to sell to the business versus IT, forcing us to develop product and land customers at the same time. It's a juggling act that makes it difficult for everyone in the company. These cons are real, but they are pretty typical of a startup.
