No one here has a huge ego. The team also makes you feel like your voice is genuinely heard. The product itself is amazing and our clients love us. With the recent funding round, there’s been major investments on the sales side so we have an insanely good sales tech stack and the ability to invest in our clients to strengthen the relationship further. Even during these times, we’ve been growing a ton. The company also places huge strides on making sure you have a real work life balance and gives you no pressure when you want to take a mental health day. Autonomy is huge with us and trust is given at the start. If you’re looking for micromanagement, you definitely won’t find it here. A lot of things are changing up for the better so it’s a lot to take in so you have to adapt quickly. Sales cycles are slow but that’s the nature of the enterprise space. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 3.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 1168502 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 1.0 Jan 19th, 2021 05:40PM Jan 19th, 2021 05:40PM Cockroach Labs Technology Software & Computer Services

Different viewpoints are respected and junior team members listened to. A lot of freedom to decide how you work best. Growing pains. Engineering work can be stressful because of this. Sometimes need to be assertive regarding work/life balance. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 2.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 3.0 3.0 1168502 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 4.0 Jan 19th, 2021 05:40PM Jan 19th, 2021 05:40PM Cockroach Labs Technology Software & Computer Services

private:cockroachlabs https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=1168502 Dec 14th, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Cockroach Labs Member of Technical Staff New York, NY Great job if you fit in The work is challenging and engaging, and it gave me the opportunity to develop some valuable software engineering skills in a relatively short period of time. The engineering standards are high, especially due to the fact that the code base is open source and available for the general public to see. In addition to the work, there were some common non-work related perks such as free food and snacks in the kitchen, catered lunch, beer, comfy couches and such to entice you to stay at the office longer. They also provide you dedicated funds for learning to attend conferences to develop your skills further. Cockroach Labs develops a database, nothing more. If databases give you a hard on, and you don't have many interests outside of software development, this is an excellent company to work for. Most everyone believes in the company mission, but be sure you do to before deciding to work there. In my opinion, there is a lot of pretentiousness and arrogance in the engineering department, especially for the senior members and management. As an engineer with only a few years experience, asking questions and trying to seek guidance was a difficult task to achieve. Often times if I were to ask a "stupid" question, I received a strong sense of being looked down upon and judged before being given a hesitant answer that only answered my question at the surface level. In other words, they didn't care about me or my growth as a software engineer. The "flex Fridays" are heavily advertised, as having your Friday to work on other projects, catch up on work, or take off completely. But it's really a ploy to entice candidates to accept the offer (disclaimer, I am strictly speaking as a software engineer). Being a startup, a lot is expected of you. Long hours, being logged on well into the evening hours, and working weekends. This would all be fine if you knew what you were getting into, but it's never said, only expected. Honestly, they preach a work life balance, which is even more frustrating since the reality is nothing of the sort. Like I said in the pros, if software engineering is your only interest, you're a software development wiz, or you just absolutely love designing and thinking about databases, by all means, this is for you. But if you're someone who is looking for a job that will give you back what you put in, be cautious. I advise you to ask skeptical and challenging questions in your interview process. And ask what team you will be joining and make sure you speak with your manager before accepting the position to ensure you will have a healthy working relationship. -1.0 NEGATIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 18.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1168502 Open 0.0 [{"countHelpful": 0, "languageId": "eng", "userJobTitle": "Head of People Operations at Cockroach Labs", "__typename": "EmployerResponse", "originalLanguageId": null, "id": 2501933, "responseDateTime": "2020-01-29T10:25:13.167", "translationMethod": null, "response": "At Cockroach Labs, we do our best to fairly and transparently represent our culture during the interview process.
