Pros

First off, people can make or break an organization and I think the team at Harness is one of the best I have worked with. The people who lead are fully dedicated to the success of their team and the company. That trickles down to the people they hire, smart knowledgeable and dedicated. It is a fast-growing company with lots of opportunity for career growth. Be warned, there is a lot to learn and absorbed but it is well worth it.

Cons

Not so much of a con, but something to be fully aware of is the dedication needed for a fast-growing start-up. If you are looking for an 8-5 or 5 hour workday where you can slip by - this is not the place. That being said, if you need to adjust your schedule for personal reasons you are more than able to.

Pros

* Early-stage startup whose co-founders are experienced, skilled, and successful. * Serious ethic of steadily developing and implementing new features, at high quality. (We practice the continuous delivery we support.) * Small enough to have low barriers. You have access to virtually everyone you need to collaborate with and talk with. * Great opportunity to contribute to multiple aspects of the product and its technology. Everyone's welcome to chime in on anything, if they have good points to make. * Biweekly, unpretentious demos of what everyone has built in each sprint. * Ongoing, direct input from sales and sales engineers about what customers want. * Competitive compensation. * Solid funding track record. * Strong, respectful esprit de corps. Frequent social events, interesting conversations, and even a couple of game tables – with no trace of a fraternity atmosphere.

Cons

* Some functions (like IT support) are still getting fully geared up and internally staffed. But hiring is proceeding. * Some fringe benefits and perks could be more generous. * Some engineering folks need to creatively schedule some meetings. (Our Bangalore office is 12-1/2 to 13-1/2 hours ahead of our San Francisco office.)
