Great place to work!
Great place to work!
- Smart people, but generally humble and collaborative
- Interesting technical challenges
- Willingness to experiment with new tech
- Work-life balance (flexible hours, can work from home, etc.)
- DevOps is really a thing here - you're on-call for what you build
- Fun culture (free lunch, beer, company events)
- Management that genuinely cares about employees
- Leadership is trending in the right direction since new CEO joined
- Opportunity for technical career advancement
- Progressive company values
- Generous training budget (conferences etc.)
- I am genuinely happy to come to work every day.
- Varying technical debt between different teams
- Org can be somewhat product-driven, at the expense of doing things right (this is a more recent change, and there are signs it might be correcting)
- It seems that some engineering teams are under more pressure than others, leading to some recent turnover (also due to product focus)
- Hiring is a bit of a mess recently, leading to understaffed teams
Keep doing what you're doing mostly, but empower your engineers to work on things they know need fixing.
Figure out the hiring situation (advertise more? be more involved in the community?)

PagerDuty Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Found the interview questions to be a typical experience, however my interviewer joined the interview noticeably annoyed. They were quite unfriendly during the process and eager to end the interview. I knew within 5 minutes there would be no callback
Software Engineer
Applied online and had a very brief chat with the internal recruiter (why pagerduty, pay, what makes you happy at work). Schedule a phone interview with the lead and a coding challenge. The team lead was mostly talking about the role and mostly asked
Software Engineer
Applied online, heard back from a recruiter almost immediately. Talked with hiring manager, followed by a coding test. Another phone screen on algorithms. Got called for onsite. Day full of interviews on various topics, including another coding test.
