Pros
I've worked at Harness for about 7 months. Despite not getting much time in the office, I have gotten to meet and know coworkers through virtual events and activities. The leadership seems to genuinely cares about the employees and has been very accommodating for employees throughout COVID. We continue to roll out new programs to support employees as needs arise, like the $500 office stipend, wifi reimbursements, and extra days off. The work is challenging but fun, and because it is such a small start up, there is a lot of opportunity to build, create and implement programs and processes. People are supportive, helpful and open minded. One unique thing about Harness is that many folks have been in previous successful start ups, so theres a great energy of "we've done this before, and we've got this". My manager supports me and I believe there are growth opportunities for me within the business.
Cons
Harness is a start up, so it does not have the same programs, processes, resources, budget, etc as larger organizations do. While compensation is fair and competitive, it will not necessarily compete with larger companies.
