Pros: I have learned a lot at PagerDuty. Everyone is extremely smart, dedicated, hard-working, always ready to help. I'm a junior software engineer. I get to use, work on latest technologies to solve unique problems as our product needs that. Everyone loves what they do here, it is very much visible from daily interaction. Culturally, it's a great place to be. There are monthly hackdays, great meals, snacks, lots of alcohol, movie nights, poker nights, picnics, birthday celebrations, board games, feature launches, and many more! Sick leaves are unlimited. I can WFH. Engineering teams are very flexible as long as you are doing your job. Compensation is on par with the market. More than everything our customers absolutely love our product!

Cons: Company is going super fast! It's getting tough to keep up with all the new faces and names.

Pros: Most PD employees are super nice and in general the company has tons of emotional intelligence. Lots of support for underrepresented groups, especially through employee resource groups. Good diversity stats compared to the industry and region (board and execs included). Managers go on-call too, not just line level workers. Work/life balance was quite reasonable, although it depends significantly on the team. Ask lots of questions about the on-call load for the specific team you're considering joining.

Cons: There is a strong tendency to cargo cult technical decisions and appeal to authority in discussions, which was probably exacerbated by... There is a cultural fear of being wrong, caused by a small group in engineering who treat every interaction as a battle to be won. It wasn't uncommon for people to express fear of asking questions in certain channels out of fear of one of these people (or their emulators) making them feel stupid. The engineering department probably wastes half its budget redoing work to use increasingly niche technologies as top engineers' interests meander. Most valuable stuff is owned by a team and a rotation, so if you're not a manager or lead, opportunities for individual ownership can be limited, which can make career growth challenging beyond the early career.

Pros: There are good people, interesting work and massive growth. There's also a dedicated happiness team that responds to requests for everything from hardware to beer selection. Great location if you live in the city with lots of bike parking.

Cons: The customers are very vocal, so there's always a fire to put out. There is an element of being on call for many roles.
