Grafana Labs

• My understanding is that everyone at the company receives equity, which is amazing.

• Everyone gets 30 days vacation per year, and not like that so called "unlimited" vacation that cuts into your pay.

• Senior leadership, managers and individual contributors strive to get everyone to use their vacation.

• I've received a raise every year without asking for it.

• I've worked here for two years, the first raise was slightly higher than inflation, the second raise was a promotion and was much significantly higher than inflation.

• The senior leadership is astounding.

• They truly care about the people of the company.

• Very transparent.

• Regularly held all-hands meetings where anyone can ask them anything.

• Work with high caliber people.

• My experience is that 99.9% of the engineers are non-junior, probably 90% have noticeable leadership qualities, and I think something like 25% of them could be a highly successful CTO.

• In my previous jobs I've found myself to be close to the front of the pack talent-wise.

• But at Grafana, it would be a stretch to consider myself middle of the pack.

• Being surrounded by so many super-talented people has taught me so much and has made me far more capable.

• Everyone works remotely from around the world, and this has many obvious and nuanced benefits.

• High level of autonomy.

• Managers do not outrank engineers.

• In fact, it's more likely to be the other way around.

• Grafana is lead by engineers through and through.

• Also, I want to say it gives me so much joy to watch our sales team work.

• They're high-energy, strategic, and very respectful.

To me, there are no cons.
