Pros

Fully remote available. Tons of flexibility with unlimited pto and very cognizant of your mental health to make sure you don’t burn out.

Cons

Fully remote, if you are not successful at setting yourself up, organization, task management, etc it can be difficult to focus on your job. Often times there can be little interaction so you must be active in participation or communication if that is something you need. The salary range can be lower than average depending on your area. For some it is on par but in major city it can feel like it’s lacking.

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and give some feedback! Remote and distributed workforces can definitely be something to get used to. Please let me know if you need any help finding some Employee Resource Groups, fun slack channels, a donut meet partner, or anything of our other programs that CircleCI offers for employees to interact in a non-working environment. We are so thankful that you are here, and would love any suggestions to make it easier for our employees to interact! I would also love to chat with you about your thoughts on compensation. We actively try to add more and more benefits for employees to add to their complete compensation in addition to salary, but open to chat with you about additional suggestions! If you feel comfortable, please reach out to me directly at andie@circleci.com. Thanks again! Andie Borcz Head of Talent Acquisition andie@circleci.com

Pros

Work life balance, some decent people

Cons

Leadership and HR need to provide more stability and consistency. Constantly changing priorities, processes, and initiatives every month creates confusion, increases stress, and makes it difficult for employees to focus on meaningful work. Many of these initiatives conflict with one another, leaving employees feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted. The new compensation guidelines have further damaged morale. They create the perception that the company is trying to reduce headcount through a "quiet layoff" rather than investing in and retaining its employees. Whether intentional or not, this has significantly eroded trust in leadership. Additionally, not providing annual raises for employees who consistently meet expectations is deeply disrespectful, especially in today's economic climate. At a minimum, compensation should keep pace with inflation. Expecting employees to maintain strong performance while their purchasing power continues to decline sends the message that their work and contributions are not valued. Employees want to do great work, but that requires stability, transparency, and fair compensation. Investing in the people who keep the business running will do far more for engagement and retention than a constant cycle of new initiatives and cost-cutting measures
