Pros

Compensation is competitive relative to many companies in the space. Base salaries and total compensation packages are generally strong, and pay tends to be the primary reason many employees stay as long as they do.

Cons

Employee turnover has accelerated significantly in recent months, and morale across the organization is extremely low. It’s only Wednesday and three colleagues I work closely with have already shared that they’ve submitted their resignations this week. At the current pace, it’s difficult to imagine that many of the people I work with across sales, finance, legal, or operations will still be here six months from now. A major driver of this attrition is the leadership environment. The leadership team consistently struggles with both strategic clarity and people management. Priorities change frequently, initiatives are launched and then quietly abandoned, and teams are often asked to pivot without a clear explanation of how the new direction is expected to be executed. Decisions tend to feel reactive rather than well-considered, and communication from leadership often comes across as combative or dismissive rather than supportive or collaborative. The situation has become more unstable following recent significant layoffs. The CEO has indicated that additional workforce reductions are likely and that the company intends to rely more heavily on “AI” to perform work that is currently done by employees. However, there has been little evidence of concrete planning, tooling, or operational redesign that would realistically enable AI to replace even many entry-level responsibilities. The combination of ongoing layoffs, unclear strategy, and an increasingly strained leadership culture has created an environment where many employees are actively looking for opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

- remote work accommodated - core product (incident response) stacks up to competitors well - depends on team, but generally you have autonomy over your work

Cons

- some teams have changed dramatically, customer support and success aren't of the quality they used to be and don't work well with others - some executives do not understand what our product is or does - there's an identity crisis at PD, people buy the product for incident response but the focus on other product areas is sometimes overemphasized.

Pros

This is tech so expect all the perks that come with it. During the "in office days" free food, snacks, drinks, great benefits, flex time, and great pay etc. The people team has done an excellent job at hiring for diversity and talent. It's a great thing when you scan the office and see all ages, ethnicities, genders, and LGBTQ + represented. Irrespective of you job title, management wants more from you. They want you to bring your ideas to the table and innovate. You will not be a worker "bot" if you contribute they will continue to develop you professionally. Consider yourself lucky if they hire you, they discriminating for ability and fit. Getting hired is a rigorous process. You will work with the best!

Cons

I rated PD with only 3 stars because your professional success within this organization and your mental health is going to be determined by the manager and department you end up working at. The people team is aware that there are some historically toxic leaders from the director level and above but all they do is ruminate, pace the floor, and wring their hands about it. These leaders have a high turnover in their respective departments and that has started to erode the morale and the culture that PagerDuty has worked so hard to achieve.
