Pros

- This company is winning on all fronts, and it's nice to be on a team that's winning - Given the caliber of leadership, there's coherent product/sales/financial strategy and they communicate it up and down the org

Cons

- This is a fast moving company with high expectations, which isn't what some people may be looking for - The distributed employee base means more travel to work side-by-side with important counterparts

Pros

Culture of Trust and Autonomy: As a Solutions Engineer, I'm given real ownership and empowered to make strategic decisions that impact the business. Leadership trusts you to do the job you're hired for. Cutting-Edge Technology: Harness is solving real problems in software delivery and observability. Being on the frontlines of CI/CD, IDP, and AI DevSecOps innovation is rewarding. Customer-Centric Mindset: Product teams listen to field feedback, which makes it easy to stay aligned with customer needs. Great Leadership and Vision: The leadership team, including Jyoti and the executive staff, have a clear vision for growth and are transparent about it. Collaboration Across Teams: Strong collaboration between sales, engineering, marketing, and customer success. You’re not siloed. Compensation and Benefits: Competitive pay, solid equity package, flexible PTO, and strong benefits

Cons

Fast Pace Can Be Intense: It’s a high-growth startup with big goals, which means priorities shift quickly. This pace isn't for everyone. Internal Processes Still Maturing: Some internal systems and processes (like forecasting tools or sales enablement content) are still catching up to the company’s growth. Cross-Product Complexity: With multiple modules in the platform, staying on top of all the products can be a challenge, especially for newer hires.
