Pros

LaunchDarkly is the clear market leader and has become a must-have platform for developers to ensure quick and safe software feature releases. The new leadership team has created a winning culture with a focus on dominating the market and employee growth and development. Above market OTE + benefits and a massive opportunity for ICs with a background in value-based sales.

Cons

Typical scale challenges for a company preparing for an IPO.

Diminishing employees' value

Pros

One of the best Feature Flagging products in the market, making the job of the sales team a breeze. If money is not an issue, it's close to impossible not to find a way to convince a customer with the value of LaunchDarkly.

Cons

Was an amazing place to work for 3 years ago, with great valuation for employees' role and contribution to the company with all treated like family. Lately, the organization seems desperate for de-privatization and shifting policies frequently, hiring and firing people, making exceptional employees leave. It's not the right place to work for now, until the new management reaches its goal and the dust settles. With the frequent downsizing in recent months, the organization has demonstrated a lack of respect for their employees by offering minimal severance packages that provide very little support for finding new employment in the current economic climate.

Pros

The company has been through a massive amount of change in the past year with an almost entirely new leadership team. While this can be difficult to adjust to, and change isn't for everyone, I feel confident in the leadership that they are working hard to steer the company in the right direction. Recent TownHall meetings have been more transparent and I believe the leaders are making a conscious effort to tender tougher questions from employees.

Cons

I feel there have been mixed messaging or miscommunication of late where certain leaders perhaps don't share the same vision and so decision or guidance might be misleading. This can make it difficult to execute project/plans etc but more so cause confusion and, in some cases, concern over the direction of the team.
