Pros

+ You can learn a ton about multiple technologies + You can shape your career path to some extent + Many people are genuinely passionate about what they do + Certain parts of the company are working on the most cutting edge technologies + Lots of opportunity to be a speaker and evangelist On the positive side - most people at JFrog really care about what they're working on and the opportunities you have access to (if you do the work) are unparalleled for a company this size. You can easily participate in speaking opportunities, technology foundations, partnering with other large tech companies on joint projects, and how far you can go building out a thought leadership career is totally up to you. Overall - I think JFrog is a great place for an early career as you're exposed to ton of things at once. If you are in the later stages of your career, you might have a better experience somewhere else.

Cons

+ Awkward working hours can ruin work/life balance + Not having a remote-first culture makes no sense at a company that is basically half dispersed anyway + Lots of goals and ideas, but the company lacks structure, feels totally unorganized at times + "Walking on eggshells" mentality, but that is slowly changing + Can have a lack of formal career growth processes in place + VP's have no idea how anything actually gets done since they aren't participating JFrog is a good company that is going through difficult growing pains. Employees constantly feel burnt out because there is a real lack of upper management understanding and participating in the on-the-ground strategy of the company. Sometimes it feels like nobody knows what's actually going. It's also frustrating that VP's on various teams still want a say in approving/denying the projects you are involved in even they lend nothing to your ability to execute on them. The discipline of setting and following clear KPI's is lacking and employees are "on their own" to figure things out in a way that doesn't drive towards clear or collective success. They hire good people, but don't have lots of structures in place to help people know if they are succeeding. This is slowly changing and they've made some in-rounds towards changing the things that make their employees feel stuck.

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.
