Pros

Tech stack interesting Challenging Some really great people and teams

Cons

No work-life balance - Harness solutions to every problem, work harder, or how many engineers can work on a single problem. Engineers are expected to be on the clock 24/7. (In this day and age, Management can not keep playing the SaaS platform card). No room for engineering growth. Harness is building an engineering culture on fear and distrust.
