Regret Signing Up for This Chaos

Pros

Decent commission structure if you can actually close deals and meet the quota.

Cons

This place is a dumpster fire. I joined Harness thinking it’d be a great opportunity but it’s been a nightmare. Management sets impossible quotas, then ghosts you when you ask for support. As a new rep, I felt like an outsider - nobody bothers to include you. Constant pressure to work late, no work-life balance, and I’m watching everyone else here burn out too. Counting the days until I can escape...

Pros

Harness is a niche product with so many services. Every service is to plug the gap in DevOps and seems to be having good customer base

Cons

Management shakeup recently. Your situation depends on the manager and it is a non stop work culture. High level attrition and people do not stay more than 3-4 years. Quite a few toxic micromanagers are in the company in many of the teams.
