CircleCI reviews

Pay is WAY below market, and the constant boasts about how great the equity and stock options are is just nonsense. The stock is basically worthless at this point because of all the dilution due to the two recent rounds of funding. Management talks about wanting to be a great place to work, but follow-through is non-existent. They seem to prefer burnout than work-life balance. The constant focus on hitting revenue targets takes away from potential innovation and platform improvements. There is no coherent product vision laid out for the company.

Some managers are phenomenal, empowering, and accommodating. Others... not so much. If you interview with us, do as much as you can to learn which type your would-be manager is and make the appropriate decision. This applies to all positions and teams. On the bright side, if you get on the right teams, this could be one of the best jobs you'll ever have. - Interview experience is still spotty. Teams are very busy, but we could be better about following up with people and communicating between rounds of interviews. Some teams (e.g., sales) are very good about this. Other teams (e.g., engineering) struggle a bit. - Still not much of a long-term vision for the product.
