Pros

I have just come out from "move fast, break things" culture induced by my former boss who was a facebooker. I need to adapt myself to the old-school way of doing things. Before this, I was a follower TDD and agile, the XP flavor, not SCRUM flavor. Being a risk-averse company focused on cyber-security, the nature of this company suits me better: 1. Seriously care about automated tests 2. Every developer expected to do end to end testing (shift left testingJ) 3. QA Automated Regression Tests 4. Code review with high attention to detail 5. Devs has no access to write to production DB

Cons

Some practices can still be improved: 1. Dev-Ex (Deployment pipeline) 2. Observability 3. Low risk / safe revert (including feature flag) Yes, I know they are facebook-ey, but they are still useful to a risk-averse company. MTTA and MTTR is important metrics to track too.

Pros

Strong culture with talented people who genuinely care about customers and product quality. Remote-first environment provides flexibility, leadership is generally approachable, and employees have opportunities to influence products that directly impact customers. The company continues to grow and invest in engineering, creating opportunities for career development.

Cons

Rapid growth and frequent changes in business priorities can create challenges with planning and execution. Customer escalations and urgent initiatives sometimes disrupt roadmap commitments, leading to context switching and shifting expectations. As the organization scales, communication and alignment between teams can occasionally become difficult.

Pros

Great company culture, strong leadership, and incredible teammates. NinjaOne offers plenty of opportunities for professional growth while maintaining a collaborative and supportive work environment. I'm proud to be part of a company that values its employees and is committed to delivering exceptional results for customers.

Cons

The rapid growth and fast-paced environment can sometimes lead to shifting priorities and evolving processes. Employees need to be comfortable with change and ambiguity. That said, these challenges are typical of a high-growth company and also create opportunities for learning and career.
