Pros

Qumulo has great benefits, aside from not having any sort of 401k matching. Health and dental are generously equipped. Breakroom and snacks are plentiful, if you're in the office. Engineering side of the house is really great and has wonderful leadership and support structures, as well as room to grow. Sales/Marketing/Business Dev are a nightmare.

Cons

HR department is non-existent, so you're pretty much on your own there. Compensation is low to semi-average for most roles, which is a bummer since there's no 401k match. In a span of two years, they had 9 c-suite executive individuals leave their positions. Nine. On top of that, it's exceedingly rare to see anyone that has been with the company longer than 2 years outside of Engineering. Turnover is on an unprecedented scale and it's often sad to see how people are fired with essentially no warning, reasoning, or severance. They recently let go a couple dozen people and did not provide any explanation to the company. There is little to no visibility into what is actually going on with senior leadership and transparency meetings are very often misleading. The "good ole boy club" is very much in effect here and spans across all non-engineering departments. If you have other offers, I'd take them before going to Qumulo.

Pros

Qumulo has a long history of incredible hires. Smart people that are very passionate about what they do and how the customers benefit from the work they do. It's a very collaborative environment, people want to hear your ideas on how to improve the customer experience. Qumulo's CS team complete changed the way Enterprise technical support it delivered, and continues to be best in show when it comes to support delivery

Cons

There was a history of high turnover in marketing prior to 2023, very often that impacted multi-department and company wide efforts.

Pros

Large territories, no contention on account ownership at their size.

Cons

Small company problems. Core product not as differentiated as they would think. Lots of selling around feature gaps. High churn.
