Pros: Nice, talented people to work with. Competitive salaries and annual raise, tech stack, exposure to lots of cool technologies. Competent management and very little "office drama" - the Sheffield office still has a cosy, small startup feel.

Cons: Teams, projects, engineering focus can all change quickly, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. Leadership seems to change the overall direction of the company quite frequently, but it is normally justified.

Pros: Pendo's core values are more than just words on marketing slides or company handbooks. They are lived out daily by the teams I work on, in a way that is authentic to each individual. We care about each others' lives outside of work and personally encourage each other to take time off when needed. Even as we grow into a more established and process-oriented company, we still celebrate experiments and new ideas. Side projects are regularly cleaned up and merged into our product and workflow. I haven't met a single individual who isn't incredibly talented, and eager to share knowledge and wisdom with their coworkers. Our affinity groups and clubs take active roles in the events and initiatives of the entire company, rather than being restricted to the sidelines.

Cons: We are at a critical turning point between a startup and larger, established company. The tension can be felt culturally, as folks from different "generations" of the company all yearn for the environment that they remember when they first began. To work here requires self-awareness and strong personal convictions, so that an individual has the willpower to voice their opinions and shape the future of the team and company.

Pros: I enjoyed working at Pendo!

Cons: It is definitely a fast-paced environment, but I think they handle it well.
