Cockroach Labs

New York, NY

Cockroach Labs develops CockroachDB, a distributed SQL database for mission-critical applications, and operates as a distributed team across five offices with an office-first hybrid model requiring three days in-office. The company is known for transparent hiring practices, publishing its full interview process and using exercise-based, resume-blind screening to reduce bias. The main caveat: recent Glassdoor reviews surface a culture shift after leadership changes, with employees citing lost flatness, favoritism, and layoffs, though the company maintains a 3.6/5 rating with 63% recommending it.
