Not Great

Pros

Remote was nice for a while and so was work-life balance

Cons

The company seems to be heading in no clear direction and transparency seems to be extremely low. Lots of cuts in all areas of the business and they seem to only be trying to keep the lights on at this point

Great place to work if you actually do software programming; pay is great on all counts.

Cons

Finance team is a toxic cesspool.

Thank you for your review. While it’s not the sentiment we want to see from any of our employees or alumni, we are sorry you had a negative experience. CircleCI is a fast paced, rapidly-scaling environment, and in an ever-changing macro climate, there is a natural level of turbulence. That being said, fostering an environment that facilitates a positive employee experience is important to us. We’re open to feedback when we’ve fallen short. Reach out to me, andie@circleci.com, if you feel compelled to share more specifics. Andie Borcz Head of Talent

Pros

I had a good team to work with (most have left now)

Cons

This is NOT a design oriented company, if you are in any design/product position, your day-to-day will be grueling and expect low to no career growth with this mentally. Extremely disorganized when it comes to cross-department collaboration especially with the Marketing Team. It was extremely difficult to communicate and streamline projects. A lot of the decisions were made from "gut" feeling and ignored real user research (with current/past users of CCI). Heard there is a lot of customer churn (not just employee).

Hi there, and thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am so sorry this was your experience while you were here at CircleCi. While I can't speak to your specific situations that you encountered, communication continues to be something that our managers work on, as it's so important for our leaders to be transparent in decision making. I will be bringing this specific feedback about mental health support to our leadership team, but if you have anything else to add I encourage you reach out to me directly. andie@circleci.com Thanks again for your feedback! Andie Borcz Head of Talent andie@circleci.com
