Pros

Culture of Trust and Autonomy: As a Solutions Engineer, I'm given real ownership and empowered to make strategic decisions that impact the business. Leadership trusts you to do the job you're hired for. Cutting-Edge Technology: Harness is solving real problems in software delivery and observability. Being on the frontlines of CI/CD, IDP, and AI DevSecOps innovation is rewarding. Customer-Centric Mindset: Product teams listen to field feedback, which makes it easy to stay aligned with customer needs. Great Leadership and Vision: The leadership team, including Jyoti and the executive staff, have a clear vision for growth and are transparent about it. Collaboration Across Teams: Strong collaboration between sales, engineering, marketing, and customer success. You’re not siloed. Compensation and Benefits: Competitive pay, solid equity package, flexible PTO, and strong benefits

Cons

Fast Pace Can Be Intense: It’s a high-growth startup with big goals, which means priorities shift quickly. This pace isn't for everyone. Internal Processes Still Maturing: Some internal systems and processes (like forecasting tools or sales enablement content) are still catching up to the company’s growth. Cross-Product Complexity: With multiple modules in the platform, staying on top of all the products can be a challenge, especially for newer hires.

Pros

1) Lockstep alignment across the executive leadership team 2) Proven Product Market Fit evident by rapid growth in the past 18-months 3) As high of a talent density as there is in SW today 4) Second-to-none development 5) Best in-class-tech that is disrupting a huge market

Cons

1) It moves fast here and expectations are high - this is not for people who do not value accountability and meritocracy
