Pros

Outlook of product if it succeeds is very good

Cons

Company has set up headquarters in the US but practices are very much Chinese. Lack of ethics in expectations. Expected to interview people just to get information on best practices, market, competition etc. without intention of hiring. Feel stifled.

Pros

Zilliz is a clear winner for the vector database market. Companies of all sizes switch over from competitors (Pinecone, Mongo, PGvector, Elastic, etc.). Collaborate environment from top down.

Cons

Brand-awareness isn’t as well known as some competitors since investment goes to product development over marketing budget.

Pros

Fast moving, great place to work, leadership has a very good pulse on strategy and overall culture. No matter what role you have, everyone has to be hands-on and roll their sleeves.

Cons

Getting a start-up to scale is tough. Normal startup growing pains but manageable.
