Pros

- The product has a lot of potential and opportunities for growth - The list of customers is impressive and the investors are top tier - Great team of kind, smart and hardworking people from all around the world - The salaries, travel and perks are at the higher end

Cons

- It's been a bumpy year with leadership changes across the company and layoffs this summer, everyone is doing more with less - The product and company vision have been lacking, but it feels like we're getting to a better place so long as leadership can stay the course - The culture isn't what it used to be

Pros

I'll start by saying Sourcegraph is not a fit for everyone. The people I've seen thrive here are self-starters who enjoy high-agency, scrappy environments and can work through ambiguity. - Truly some of the best people I've ever worked with. - Employees are encouraged to share feedback and run with new ideas and processes with close to no red tape. I love the impact and ownership every person gets. - It is extremely, extremely fast-paced, which I personally love. - Pay is very competitive. - Best benefits I've ever seen.

Cons

- Great benefits, but no 401k match. - As I mentioned above, the pace and shifting priorities makes it a place that's not for everyone. You probably won't enjoy the company if you prefer a ton of structure.

Pros

- Fantastic Trips - Generous Parental Leave - Office Budget - Always have everything you need to do your job It’s a good job with what I still believe to be incredible tech. The fact that this behemoth of a software works as reliably and smoothly as possible is a testament to quite a few generations of talented and smart individuals. It’s not until you step away from using it as a daily driver that you really realize it’s like a Ferrari, they only make a few every so often and the engineers that work on them care about every single bolt.

Cons

- A bit of a roller coaster - Strong personalities - No roadmap for career you’re going to have to make one The cons come from this being a business that has to make money. It’s always been. Running a business takes incredible acumen and at times shrewd choices. With a step backward I think there was a lot of missteps here with handling finances and the optimism that came with low interest rates. Most devs don’t realize how this thing even works let alone how or why it will improve their productivity.
