Pros
Great pay, amazing benefits and perks, fully remote with the ability to meet up regularly in person. Chainguard is the place to be if you like a fast-paced, energizing environment with brilliant yet down-to-earth coworkers. Everyone is so smart, but also so approachable. The people are hands down awesome. There’s complex and meaningful problems to solve, and a product that’s gaining strong traction in the market. I joined the latter half of 2025, and it’s definitely a place where one needs to dive right in - sink or swim. But for me, I find it’s a rewarding place to be.
Cons
The company grew so quickly that a lot of inefficiencies exist. It can be frustrating, but it’s also a solvable issue that I think will get better as we mature.
