SendGrid Software Developer reviews

The culture was great for a while, but has been on a steep downward trajectory for the past couple of years. Strong employees get fired or blocked from career advancement for political reasons. Many of the best people leave because they aren't given't recognition or opportunity to advance. Some managers think the only good ideas come from management Lack of real innovation in many aspects of the business.

Deploying code takes more time than it should, and communication could be better between teams across the company, but it's getting better. Attrition was high in 2015 as the company matured. We've accumulated tech debt from earlier days that has caused some nasty outages, but the good news is that it's a high priority and being reduced.
