Pros
-A lot of really great people work here who are passionate about the product–which is unique and turns the traditional database on its head.
Cons
-This is not a place that hires smart people and gets out of their way. They do hire smart people, but then they preceded to micromanage them to the point that they leave. -The philosophy of work at Fauna is this: more, more, more and also faster, faster, faster. The math does not add up and you won't be able to feel proud about your work or accomplishments. Everyone is stretched so incredibly thin that it's just sad to observe at this point. -If you don't reside in the Pacific time zone, you will be on late-night/very inconvenient meetings that are sent very last minute (I can't even count the times that meetings were sent with 2 minutes notice before they were supposed to start) and claim to be "emergency" meetings when in fact they are just a result of poor planning/backpedaling. If you are a young family and say, need to pick your child up at daycare and don't have the luxury of having a stay-at-home partner this will 100% be an issue for you. At the same time, Fauna claims they want to attract a diverse workforce....it's just hypocritical and hot air at this point. -Zero comradery or focus on team building. They really do not care about you as a person.
