Pros

- Great product and learning scope. There's no doubt that harness is on the unicorn path and there is a lot of scope for learning when you're working on a product which has a very broad spectrum. - Good work culture. Your work is values here, managers make sure to give credit where it is due and appreciate the work done. Ownership is valued here more than anything else, hence there is no micromanagement. This definitely depends on the team that you're working in as is the case with any other company. - Flexible work hours. Keeping in line with the above point, as long as you're taking ownership and responsibility for your work, there's no fixed timings that you're supposed to work in. That being said, it's a collaborative work environment, with multiple time zones and we all respect each other's work timings and make sure to set meetings within reasonable hours. - Management is sensitive towards employees and their concerns. Various initiatives to keep employees engaged and keep the culture alive during the COVID time.

Cons

- Because of cross timezone work, there are some late night meetings. But most teams have worked on solving this issue and have come up with meeting hours together.

Pros

Great culture. Easy onboarding experience. Amazing for remote work.

Cons

It's a company that is growing fast so it's not a great place for folks who want everything already figured out.

Pros

I'm fortunate to be on a team that is highly communicative, very friendly, supportive, honest, and willing to learn from each other. The best marketing team I've ever worked with in my honest opinion. We work hard, as you would in any startup, but when you are surrounded by a great bunch of people, it makes even the tough days a breeze. I can't wait to see where we go as a team and how Harness grows as a company. The company as a whole is: - Transparent - Diverse - There's a potential for growth - Supportive - Friendly

Cons

The SF office floor plan limited cross-collaboration among teams. You had to be proactive and make the effort to visit the other half of the office to offer help or show a willingness to cross-collaborate. COVID has made it difficult to see what other teams are working on as we are all remote now and this has limited cross-collaboration further.
