Pros

being well-connected can significantly increase the likelihood of securing a job or promotion. This informal network can provide a sense of job security for those closely associated with key figures within the company.

Cons

Working at JFrog has been disappointing due to its poor culture, excessive control, and neglect for employees' well-being. Employees often feel like their opinions don't matter as decisions are made without consulting them. Managers constantly hover over employees, micromanaging their every move and creating a suffocating work environment. There's a lack of trust in employees' abilities, making it difficult for them to work independently. Vacation days are limited, leaving employees feeling overworked and unappreciated. Junior employees are often belittled and their ideas disregarded, hindering collaboration and innovation. Changes in strategy are implemented without proper communication, causing confusion and instability within the company. Many employees feel frustrated but don't know where to turn for help, exacerbating their sense of disempowerment. HR appears oblivious to these issues, ignoring complaints and fostering a culture of fear where employees are afraid to speak up. JFrog is not recommended for those who prefer autonomy, value their well-being, and seek a supportive work environment.

Pros

Relatively stabile company in terms of no layoffs, good product fit, generally great team members across the organization

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen on majority of the projects, too much involvement from c-suite on minor details, too many people in senior positions make very last minute demands and do not supply the support to make them happen in a timely fashion, last but not least c-suite is pretty much never satisfied. C-suite will frequently lash out on one person on a call with many stakeholders for a small mistake or a mistake that isn't their fault (even if it was a big mistake I don't condone this type of behavior). I don't know if I ever heard any positive feedback at all from C-suite to anyone that wasn't already quite senior.
