Pros

+ Opportunity to work with developers from all over the Fortune 500 + JFrog products are ubiquitous within the industry (for now) and you really get the chance to dive deep into the inner workings + Office is really nice and provides free lunch, free snacks, and free coffee + Compensation package is quite generous + The people on the front lines are really nice, really helpful, and really smart

Cons

- Horrid, horrid work/life balance. Be prepared to work late. Be prepared to skip lunch. Be prepared to work weekends. When you’re not working, expect to have zero energy for real life things because of how demanding the job is. I really wish I was exaggerating, and I hope it’s gotten better since I left. - If you leave at 4:59 instead of 5, you’ll get a talking to. - Very little flexibility with WFH, despite the “hybrid” model. 3 days in office is non-negotiable. Being in-office makes taking calls (which is a huge part of the role) significantly harder due to the open floor plan. There are meeting rooms you can book, but often you’re expected to join calls with few minutes notice. - Biggest micromanagement culture I’ve ever experienced. I’ve worked for 3 other tech companies. All of them had a significantly better culture. - Some clients are horrible to work with, but that’s to be expected with any support role. - Worst knowledge siloing I’ve ever seen. No development teams in the US, and information that is probably common knowledge for developers is incredibly hard to find without an escalation. - Very little internal mobility, especially horizontally. - Just want to emphasize again how stressful this job is. I spent months throwing up daily from stress. My life has significantly improved in every aspect since quitting. - CEO (and I’m sure others, but he’s the most vocal) holds some… controversial political opinions, and if you speak out against them, you’ll be punished. If you want to be successful at JFrog, be careful who you add on social media and be mindful of how you engage with certain topics outside of work. There are snitches.

Pros

+ You can learn a ton about multiple technologies + You can shape your career path to some extent + Many people are genuinely passionate about what they do + Certain parts of the company are working on the most cutting edge technologies + Lots of opportunity to be a speaker and evangelist On the positive side - most people at JFrog really care about what they're working on and the opportunities you have access to (if you do the work) are unparalleled for a company this size. You can easily participate in speaking opportunities, technology foundations, partnering with other large tech companies on joint projects, and how far you can go building out a thought leadership career is totally up to you. Overall - I think JFrog is a great place for an early career as you're exposed to ton of things at once. If you are in the later stages of your career, you might have a better experience somewhere else.

Cons

+ Awkward working hours can ruin work/life balance + Not having a remote-first culture makes no sense at a company that is basically half dispersed anyway + Lots of goals and ideas, but the company lacks structure, feels totally unorganized at times + "Walking on eggshells" mentality, but that is slowly changing + Can have a lack of formal career growth processes in place + VP's have no idea how anything actually gets done since they aren't participating JFrog is a good company that is going through difficult growing pains. Employees constantly feel burnt out because there is a real lack of upper management understanding and participating in the on-the-ground strategy of the company. Sometimes it feels like nobody knows what's actually going. It's also frustrating that VP's on various teams still want a say in approving/denying the projects you are involved in even they lend nothing to your ability to execute on them. The discipline of setting and following clear KPI's is lacking and employees are "on their own" to figure things out in a way that doesn't drive towards clear or collective success. They hire good people, but don't have lots of structures in place to help people know if they are succeeding. This is slowly changing and they've made some in-rounds towards changing the things that make their employees feel stuck.
