Exciting place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Prospects are very interested in the CI/CD space and willing to take meetings. The product is highly differentiated from any other tool in the space so it can be easy to prove out value over another tool if you are talking to the right person and company with the right problems. It's early stages and it's still a grind, but there's a ton of potential to very well in sales here if you have the right attitude and mindset.

Cons

Since the CI/CD space is newer, you'll talk to alot of people who want to explore Harness and CI/CD, but aren't ready to evaluate or get serious about spending money on the problems. You have to be willing to do a lot of demos to find the right companies. It's going to be a grind.

Pros

Extremely passionate peers, exceptional management and a significant market opportunity. The Executive team prioritizes product design and enables their teams to raise the bar and deliver. If you are looking to be part of something significant - great product line, an awesome team, and serious customer adoption, look us up - Harness.io Offices in San Francisco and Mountain View - both fantastic places to work out of.

Cons

By far the best place to belong to - people genuinely care.
