Pros: Opportunities for career and personal growth abound. There was early adoption of employee resource groups. A flat leadership structure means you have the ability to communicate up the chain easily. Management seems to care about employees as people in addition to what they contribute to the company.

Cons: Some growing pains associated with entering a phase of rapid growth in personnel. Onboarding is rapidly evolving, which is good, but the rapidity is because it is still quite lacking. It's hard to know what the company is going to look like as we emerge from this growth period.

Pros: I feel very supported at Grafana. By my peers, my manager, the People Team — everybody works together to foster the best working environment I've experienced as a software engineer. The work is challenging, and it helps to be building alongside absurdly talented, well-rounded, caring colleagues. I believe in the company and feel that the business is on an excellent trajectory. Outstanding leadership from the very top and at every level. Grafana's take on Remote First culture works really well for me.

Cons: With respect to goals at the quarterly, semiannual, or annual level, prioritization and alignment can be challenging, but this has improved over the past year or so.

Pros: * I have worked at many different companies over the past 20 years and I think the team at Grafana is one of the most skilled and most welcoming that I've had the pleasure to work with * The company has many interesting software projects to work on, most of which are open source * There is a lot of flexibility to work where and when I want (within reasonable boundaries) * The company management really values the work/life balance of their employees * Because the entire company is working remotely, remote workers do not have a disadvantage compared to workers who work from an office * The company is very open and transparent towards its employees

Cons: For some people it can be difficult to get used to working remotely, but this isn't necessarily a "con", as for many people this is a "pro".
