Pros
  • remote culture (though they've stopped hiring in regions where they don't have legal entity - therefore only a couple of countries fall within their range)
  • wide variety of products (IRM, AI, Alerting, Dashboards, K6)
  • you can also request transfer to other team
  • occasional events (team or whole org)
  • very supportive and professional team members
  • you'll have the chance of working with really great minds
  • open source products (some of them, while others are closed source)
  • great environment overall, you don't feel stressed out most of the times
Cons
  • Frontend is a bit of a hazard in my opinion, featuring a poor internal library that works kinda meh, is not very customizable, and has some components that lack features or don't work as they should.

You're forced to use grafana-ui for pretty much everything except for what they don't support already, which is a downside, and salaries differ based on regions.

If you're in Europe you'll get paid less than someone in the US despite doing the same work, and I'm not taking into consideration very expensive US states like California where it's normal to have higher incomes, alongside very high requirements for promoting to a higher position.
