Pros

The employee experience team is phenomenal! They really care about their employees and do what ever in their power to create a great experience, making up for other areas. Great benefits and programs (TGIF-Off which allows employees to take one Friday off 10/12 months of the year).

Cons

Work-life balance isn't the best. Lack of transparency and nepotism.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! At Harness, we have a series of values we hold ourselves to. One of them being to Build Trust through transparency throughout all department. We will always continue to work towards creating an open environment to give our employees the best experience possible. Our TGIF-Off program has had great success throughout the company. Although we are a start up, we constantly work on ways in which we can improve our work life balance. The TGIF-Off program is just one step we've taken and are working on ways in which we can continuously better the lives of our employees. It's great to see you've enjoyed this perk as well! Once again we want to thank you for your review. We take all feedback and analyze ways in which we can better our standards and create an exceptional culture where Harnessians can thrive.

Great tech & Culture

Pros

- great tech that gets a "wow" in many first meetings - platform is evolving and reacting to market needs very quickly. - unique differentiators within the product can be difference makers on deals - Founder/CEO has great vision and has been through large exit before (AppD) -great emphasis on culture through transparency - tech works and clients can become successful relatively quickly -proven and simple land + expand model works today and continues to get better -Sales Ops, legal, Customer Success, and info sec team is fantastic

Cons

- it's still a startup so lots of pressure to get deals closed within the qtr, not many opportunities to make up a late loss. - not great brand recognition in the market just yet, still struggling to get that name brand status with Devs/Engineering orgs. -still in hyper growth "land new logos" mode you're going to need to do InfoSec review, MSA, pricing, etc for just about every deal.
