Vantaggi
Co-workers are great. Most employees are hard working, passionate, smart, fun, and great people to work with. Object storage itself is an exciting, "new" technology. Lots of variety in the work, and that is amazing if you like to wear a lot of different hats.
Svantaggi
Upper management at the C level is a crap shoot. COO is toxic. For a company of this size, the level of petty behavior, stemming from the top, is abhorrent. Product has major flaws, and these never seem to truly get resolved. Product does not show well, and while the technology should be selling a lot better, it is clear as to why it does not. They will work the hell out of you, like it or not. Yes, it's a small company, but still. Compensation was competitive at first, but never changed in 2 years. Company's numbers were more or less stagnant over that period as well. Not a good sign. Mix 7-day work weeks with poor company performance and horrible upper management, and it's pretty far from a great work environment. Bottom line: if you like what you do, and want to be treated and valued as a professional, do not take a job with Scality.
