Pros

I had the pleasure of working at PagerDuty pre-IPO, and it was truly an amazing experience. The energy, the innovation, and the team was exceptional. It was a place where talented individuals came together to create something special.

Cons

The exodus of early talent and leaders after the lock-up period was a major blow. The new leadership, primarily brought in from Salesforce, Amazon, and Cisco, drastically changed the company culture for the worse. The instability in Sales leadership has been equally damaging. The Chief Revenue Officer has come and gone, and there have been too many Sales VPs in and out to count. Every one of them misses the number. Funny, the one person who hit their number every quarter was one of the first victims of the post-IPO leadership. I guess a male sales leader who blows out his number every quarter doesn't mean much if he doesn't meet the DEI quota. This lack of stability has left behind only the worst individual contributors, those who stabbed their colleagues in the back to climb up the ladder but were too incompetent to move to better companies. The once top-tier Customer team was reduced to an offshore factory in just a few years under the Chief Customer Officer, who, thankfully, is no longer with the company. The Support management, which was previously excellent, has been replaced with an offshore team. Most of Customer Success is now outsourced to a third-rate organization, and Professional Services has turned into a blatant money grab, charging US prices for offshore labor from India or Chile with no thought leadership left in the org. The Product team has been completely gutted, and it shows in the so-called "innovations" they've been putting out. The lack of improvement and basic functionality, such as the scheduling calendar, is glaringly obvious and frustrating.

Pros

Convenient location and free t-shirts.

Cons

- Your promotion and salary increase has nothing to do with how well you perform your duties. Even if you exceed them by a long shot. It's all about being part of the cool circle that determines whether you're protected no matter what, or your job is always on the line. - The sales team is perceived to be the owners of the office and bully everyone else - The HR team is only there to protect the company with no regard to the employees' well being or mental health - The Engineering team is isolated and won't show up to work unless they are incentives with food - The marketing team is a clique club who runs like a headless chicken yet still think they are 'essential' - The upper management has no clue what goes on with their employees as they are only focused on 'stock price'

Pros

- The people were mostly great, but a lot of the greatness/talent has moved on - Quarterly wellness days were nice

Cons

- Lots of questionable leadership brought in that made blind decisions on behalf of their orgs, causing an overall loss and/or lack of confidence across the board in leaders - probably a catalyst for the crippling attrition many orgs have seen over the last year+ - Product is grasping at new use cases to stay relevant when they can't meet the needs of many customers for basic incident management. Pretty hard to see a North Star there and customers were noticing - Jenn Tejada has been invisible the last 8 months ..pretty odd given her previous engagement as CEO
