Ever have one of those defining moments when you realized that you were a part of something special? Well, it's 1:46am here in San Francisco and I am sitting in my hotel room testing our new website. And at the same time, there are a dozen folks in the office in Edison, NJ doing the same thing. They are working through the night and all of them worked ALL WEEKEND to make this happen. Are they all marketing folks? Of course not. This is not their job. They do other things like, sales, sales engineering, development. The co-founders are involved testing too. And, its not just here. All around the world, every office is involved in testing the site that just went live.
No, this is not their job. But, this is OUR company and everyone here jumps in to help the other. We all have the same goal and we are all rowing in the same direction. It really is something to see.
Take a look around your office today. Would it be the same in your company? I can't say that it would have been this way in any other company I worked for.
When you spend forty, sixty, eighty hours a week working, you need the reassurance that this is more than just a job or a career. If you don't, I encourage you to find your own EnterpriseDB.

I really missed my first company , where we had a similar environment; no limits on what can do, or what you can be asked to perform!
After a few years of wandering around, I seem to have found my 'Vaman' again.
I really enjoy it here.
