Pros

Harness is a niche product with so many services. Every service is to plug the gap in DevOps and seems to be having good customer base

Cons

Management shakeup recently. Your situation depends on the manager and it is a non stop work culture. High level attrition and people do not stay more than 3-4 years. Quite a few toxic micromanagers are in the company in many of the teams.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
