Pros

Great Product Market Fit Large TAM Growing Innovation Remote work Outside of Sales Development org a great opportunity

Cons

Toxic and Narcissistic Sales Development Leadership The core issue stems from the Director level in the Sales Development department, which affects the entire structure, including middle management. Extreme favoritism is prevalent, with a primary focus on personal success and numbers, rather than team growth or well-being. Leadership is willing to manipulate situations, even to the point of setting employees up for termination without their control or knowledge. If you’re considering an interview or currently working within this Sales Development team, proceed with caution, or better yet, avoid joining this department.

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.
