Pros

Working from home, however that's most companies in today's world.

Cons

- They claim to want to help you excel in your career, but when it comes down to it, they'd rather hire outside the company. - Management lies directly to your face and when you call them out, you get answers like "oh, I forgot you can see that stuff" or "I'll get back to you on that." - Everyone I worked with is extremely unhappy and the moral has gone down significantly since I started working there. - They want to rapidly grow the company causing the company to lose its culture, have a high turnaround when it comes to staff, and preventing people from getting raises/promotions. - After talking with my team, we found out that although they claim to pay based on where you live, people living in cheaper areas were making a good deal more than staff who had been there a long time even though career backgrounds were very similar. - People in management roles are selfish and don't help develop their direct reports to excel in their careers. - The way they treat their employees is extremely unfortunate. - You may work an elevated role to in return not be paid for your time doing that role.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are certainly disappointed that this was your experience at CircleCI. Growing a company unfortunately does come with bumps in the road and feedback like this helps us to direct our efforts. Currently, the People team is working through the development of proper performance review cycles, wellness incentives, and overall morale in tandem with our rapid growth. This includes ways to properly develop our internal talent and create the best people managers there are. If you do have any additional feedback specific to your experience you'd like to share, please feel free to reach out to me at chris.stpierre@circleci.com and thank you again for your time. Chris St. Pierre Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations

Good morning, and thank you for spending time writing a review. We appreciate that you mentioned our great culture, as we continue to work toward making that a top priority. As the space continue to change and CircleCI continues to grow at warp speed (with constant change, as you mentioned), we're working hard to bring the programs and tools to ensure a continued great culture and environment for learning and growth. Thank you again for your review! Chris St. Pierre Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations
