How is SingleStore for engineering (people management) role? Being a startup, does it have work life blance? Any other pointers for consideration before accepting an offer at SingleStore.
Hello. Similar boat. Have you decided ? Would appreciate thoughts on the below topics at SingleStore - - Culture - Work life balance - Leadership - Shot at IPO? (Especially in this crowded Database space) - Worth considering an offer?
They’ve been around for over 10 years and still haven’t gained any meaningful traction in the market. Business has stagnated quite a bit. Lots of people have left over the years. WLB is meh. Definitely more stressful than MSFT. Culture has been pretty toxic. You can read up the articles on Raj Verma (CEO) and all the controversy he’s brought in. There’s a lot of bad reviews on the company on Glassdoor and Blind. I would avoid joining them.
They are trying to hire a lot these days. Perhaps an IPO is around the corner.
Had my worse interview experience with singlestore. Their loop is super long and one of my interviewers barely spoke English since he was based in Eastern Europe. Good luck.
Lithuanian guys spoke English very well imo
Mine was not Lithuanian and it really depends on who you are getting.
