Don’t be blinded by the money

Pros

They pay well but money isn’t everything

Cons

For the pay they expect too much. Very long days, excessive requirements and unrealistic expectations. Always starts with, ‘it will only take a few extra minutes’

Harness under values its staff.

Pros

Tech stack interesting Challenging Some really great people and teams

Cons

No work-life balance - Harness solutions to every problem, work harder, or how many engineers can work on a single problem. Engineers are expected to be on the clock 24/7. (In this day and age, Management can not keep playing the SaaS platform card). No room for engineering growth. Harness is building an engineering culture on fear and distrust.
