Pros

I've been at multiple startups and Harness is by far the best. We experience the typical startup woes: moving fast, rapid growth, changes in leadership...but the culture has remained strong, our CEO has a clear direction and goal, our leadership is supportive and we have continued to be able to hire and retain good people.

Cons

Startups are tough. There can be a lot of uncertainty and a lot of work. Burn out is always a risk. It's been tough the last year with all of the external factors that impact our ability to grow and we've seen a few great team members move on for various reasons. The experience is not unique to Harness and I feel confident that things will get better.
