Vantaggi

Ok office in Germany. Some really nice and helpful people.

Svantaggi

Avoid like the plague. A company in managed decline mode. And that's being polite Internal staff surveys show extremely poor scores, something north of a 80% disengagement rate. It's as male, pale and stale as any company ever in the space, and reeks of boomer energy. In fact the demographics wouldn't look too out of place at an AfD rally. As someone else quipped on Glassdoor about Exasol, they only have two seasons, hiring and firing. This is all they have, throwing people under the bus when the numbers don't come through. Many of the more capable staff have either left, looking to leave or been poached by Snowflake Many senior staff had more of a B2C background, not really suitable for a space as complex as this. They had not really understood the Peter Principle either. Neither did they understand marketing, as they have peed away millions in sponsoring the local football stadium in Germany. If you've seen the film, Don't Look Up, that's what the company is like when it comes to the product, i.e. in complete denial. The product is at best half a decade behind. So many faster and cheaper alternatives now exist whilst they still bang on about in-memory analytics. So few new logos come through, they keep the lights on by hosing their existing base for more subscription money. It's no surprise the NPS score is so very low. Their "no compromise" go to market message doesn't work in the field, as every tenured field rep knows every database is inherently a collection of compromises. But management will still believe otherwise, in true cargo-cult style. The only working processes the company has is over zealous IT.

Vantaggi

As a growing company and new leadership its totally revamped how exasol used to be. It's been great so far since I've joined. Exasol as a company is heading into the right direction. The support has over exceeded me expectations, honestly everything has exceeded my expectations. Exasol has proved why it was such a smart reason to join this growing company. Their is no micromanagement, every understands we all have a job and its going to get done either individually or as a team. The product is great and meets great needs for clients, its in a great market. The leadership team values anyones input and feedback and continuously ask for people to give their opinion on anything. You just don't get that from companies now a days. Its been one of the few jobs where I feel like I can speak up and people will listen. The culture is great everyone works together and helps each other even on different teams. I enjoy it so much here where I wake up and actually look forward to work in some cases, I've never felt like that before joining Exasol. I genuinely love here.

Svantaggi

there is none to say!
