Pros

Amazing senior leadership in diversity and product development.

Cons

Once they hit IPO, the pillars and the culture was thrown out the window. They just did their SECOND round of layoffs (2 in a 6 month time span) They didn’t let team leads let them go, everyone had to show up on a call to be let go. Some people were on MATERNITY / PATERNITY & FMLA leeeaaave! Insane . They say they care about kindness (literally a Company value / pillar) but they literally could care less once you except your offer. They cut all the employees who would have vested their equity. Thousands of $$$ that was “added” as part of our compensation that we never saw.

Pros

People feel safe to admit mistakes, ask "dumb" questions, and innovate without fear of being shamed

Cons

The environment becomes so "cozy" that urgency disappears.

Pros

- post acquisition - people are still allowed remote - no pay cuts - you can coast

Cons

- hashicorp is virtually dead - whatever was left of culture is also dead - endless amount of middle managers who are completely disconnected from engineering and product - cost cutting is in full swing and painful (and bad for customers) - very bleak outlook - morale and motivation gone
