Avantages
Open source Redis is a very popular product, developers love it. It's one of the fastest database. The company has raised over 100M in funding. It has a good potential. It has a good name in the industry. In fact, Google Cloud Platform had invited CEO of Redis Labs at their conference during the keynote.
Inconvénients
Redis Labs recently hired a new CMO. He has created the worst toxic culture a company or department can have. He shouts at his employees, he is rude, belligerent and unpredictable. There has been massive attrition in the marketing department. The morale of the team is extremely low. There are folks crying in the office. I am not sure how much he was vetted since he is famous for pulling off sexist marketing campaigns in his previous job as a CMO.
