Pros

Transparent, easy communication. Most of my co-workers are friendly and willing to help. Good dental insurance (more coverage, less premium and copayment). Good immigration lawyer (contractor) with deep knowledge. Employment-based green card processing is not super fast but okay.

Kontras

Micromanagement everywhere. The manager of my team simply lacks basic soft skills to manage team members and has always been aggressive and emotional, forcing people to get work done rather than encouraging and inspiring them. Everybody in my team seems to be depressed as nobody cares about their career paths. I doubt if anyone likes working with the manager. No 401K match. No bonus. Salary is way below market rate. I had been underpaid for years but company wouldn't offer a raise when asked. They probably thought they are cool enough to attract senior level people with entry level salary (especially when you don't have options due to immigration status), which is obvious not the case. Switched to another company and easily got a ~40% raise, plus bonus, more equity and better benefits. Not to mention that I had multiple offers to choose from. Not real startup environment - you won't see many young people. Work is not fun and not challenging.

Pros

The culture was great, I really enjoyed working with everyone there. The CEO was smart and genuinely a nice person. The head of sales really cared about us and made sure we had what we needed to be successful. Support was incredible and helped to save a lot deals that would have otherwise gone sideways, the executive team was also very responsive when it came to serving the customer. I have a lot of fond memories of working there but there were downsides as there is with any startup.

Kontras

I would say they missed the mark right from the start as far the product. The product would have been great had they started the company 5 years earlier but by the time they launched the first iteration of the OneBlox, the market had already adopted high performance storage appliances with certain standardized feature sets and certain hardware requirements, all of which Exablox lacked (at first but later realized their mistakes - too late). Product Management seemed like it didn't even perform basic market research before launching a product. Most customers only stayed with us because the sales and support teams provided a high level of service.
