      High turnover and unreasonable hours

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some talented and passionate colleagues who genuinely care about the products. Interesting technology in the storage space, though always playing catch-up to competitors like VAST.

      Cons

      Extremely high turnover for more than a year — employees leave or are terminated suddenly without clear communication. People often “disappear” from Slack and email, followed by vague announcements about “strategic realignments.” Constant pressure and unrealistic workload expectations, including mandatory weekend support, long days, and being asked to stay available during holidays — all these without any compensation. Lack of transparency from engineering leadership. The focus seems entirely on pushing toward an IPO, with little attention given to employee well-being or the long-term development of other projects.
