Pros
I've been here at CircleCI for a few months as a senior engineer and I could not be happier. I especially appreciate how diverse the teams are here. I am working with more women-identified and people of color engineers than I ever have in my career. I also appreciate how much the culture emphasizes not just the technical skills of the engineers but their ability to uplift and enable their teammates and their colleagues in different teams. What people are promoted and praised for is uplifting and mentoring, not just for being the "rockstar" who can solve things solo. That is such a breath of fresh air to experience. I also appreciate how collaborative the culture here is. On my team, we pair programming often and when anyone has questions or would like help, people response kindly and thoughtfully. I also appreciate all the benefits the company offers. The healthcare coverage for an entire family is great and we have wellness days as well as holidays like Juneteenth off. The gratitude slack channel is one of my favorites and really reflects the culture of the company as a whole. Also the amount of feedback that is requested and given makes me feel like so many people and teams are dedicated to transparency, sharing context, growing together. Overall, I am incredibly very impressed and would genuinely recommend this as a place to work, which I cannot say for any other place I have worked over the last 7 years.
Cons
The company is growing a lot in a short amount of time. There's still processes to polish but so much thinking is being done internally that this is not that big of a con. I do wish there was a 401K match.
