Pros

fast growing future is bright

Cons

The culture feels unusual, with many leadership roles filled through referrals from Okta. There’s limited room for growth, as the company tends to prioritize external hires. Employees often hesitate to speak openly due to concerns about potential retaliation.

Pros

Chainguard is genuinely special. The culture here isn't just a slide in a deck — you feel it from day one. Everyone embodies the four principles: customer obsessed, bias for intentional action, serious work with a playful culture, and trust and good intentions as a default. People are exceptionally talented and also just really kind. The collaboration is effortless, there's real passion for the mission, and it's one of the most fun and energizing places I've ever been.

Cons

Fast-paced and ever-changing — but that's what makes it fun and exciting.
