Pros

CircleCI cares for you and looks after you. I have been here two years and it my favorite place that I have worked. Everyone is very supportive, has a sense of humor and humility, and tries to always do the human thing.

Cons

There is tough competition in this space.

Pros

The CEO, CRO and Global VP of Sales genuinely care about you and want you to be successful. They will roll up their sleeves to provide thoughtful coaching and help you move a deal forward. I was impressed by their ability to quickly grow the org while still making time for their people. You will receive world class coaching and support from the well-led enablement team. CircleCI is the market leader in CI/CD - the product is loved across technology teams.

Cons

The product is technical and there is a steep learning curve, especially if coming from outside DevOps. The product & competitive messaging often felt like a feature comparison dump. Would have preferred a more inspiring vision into future of CircleCI.

Pros

CircleCI is a true community. A home away from home. I would never have worked here for this long and recommended it to so many people if that wasn't the case. I get emails weekly from recruiters who keep trying to lure me away. I'm not going anywhere. We are incredibly lucky to have a CEO who addresses the entire company live twice a month, keeping everyone informed of the state of our business and our goals and directives. Where we are and where we are going are crystal clear. He takes questions on the spot and often goes over the alloted time to answer all of them. He writes thoughtful emails. He encourages people to contact him directly. Our executive leadership team (almost half of which are nonwhite women) is composed of smart, thoughtful, empathetic individuals who work tirelessly to make CircleCI a successful business AND a great place to work. This team continues to successfully navigate us through Covid and all that entails. It's obvious how much everyone cares. We have a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) taskforce that is committed to promoting equality for all races, genders, cultures and religions in our workplace. We have multiple employee resource groups (ERGs) that employees have formed to foster support around causes they have in common. As a previous reviewer mentioned, we are in hyper growth mode and are hiring accordingly. There is and will continue to be more work than the current employee base can possibly handle. This is a GREAT problem to have, especially in a year as challenging as 2020. Employees can step up, they can lead teams, they can apply for promotions, they can be more and do more. If an opportunity isn't taken to further career growth it's on the individual, not the company. If a fast growing company isn't where people want to be, I don't think that begrudgingly staying on and wishing we were a 40-person start up again with the same small company mindset and culture is the best move. For anyone that wants to be part of our team, we have a really bright and exciting future ahead of us, I can't wait to see what's in store for 2021.

Cons

None that come to mind. CircleCI is a great place to work with endless opportunities, I continue to take on new responsibilities and am constantly challenged. My colleagues are like family. I'm a very happy employee.
