Pros

They are using cutting edge technologies Good place to get familiar to new fields and to learn new technologies. If you are eager to learn, you will get what you want there. There are really talented people there. It was a joy to work with them and to learn from them.

Cons

After a while, you will get a nice book with some nice words in it. Claims to be the codex of JFROG and its work ethics. Big pompous words like integrity, open communication and care. Don't be fooled. This company has some semi cult features and they do love using big words to recruit the followers. Most of the time these are empty words. Instead you will find a place with tunes of politics, nepotism and favoritism. It is not your work which counts. Its are your ties and friends. For the rest, good luck Like any cult, if you are believer, keep believing. In exchange you will give away any shred of work-life balance, creativity and the joy to come to work. If you have a problem, don't expect your manager to help or the HR. The HR doesn't care of humans and see them as resources. Most of the non-technological management is unprofessional. They are very poor when it comes to lead people - it is hard to lead if you only expected to follow orders and to get results in any cost (upper management is occupied with the politics to be concern with the simple people). If you are not a believer or if you got into a conflict with the wrong people - beware, your days are numbered. Lots of people left in bad wibes. No other way to exit a cult. Goodbye and thanks for all the shirts

Pros

Relatively stabile company in terms of no layoffs, good product fit, generally great team members across the organization

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen on majority of the projects, too much involvement from c-suite on minor details, too many people in senior positions make very last minute demands and do not supply the support to make them happen in a timely fashion, last but not least c-suite is pretty much never satisfied. C-suite will frequently lash out on one person on a call with many stakeholders for a small mistake or a mistake that isn't their fault (even if it was a big mistake I don't condone this type of behavior). I don't know if I ever heard any positive feedback at all from C-suite to anyone that wasn't already quite senior.
