Pros

- Truly wonderful people and a highly collaborative, supportive environment Interesting, impactful work paired with a mission that genuinely matters - Competitive pay and perks, and refreshingly no politics - High trust culture, you’re empowered to do your job without micromanagement - Fantastic company culture, plus bi-annual company kickoffs that are so much fun and bring everyone together

Cons

If you're not a self starter you might get lost in the busy-ness! There's a lot of work and it's very hands on - true start up culture. It is not at the expense of work-life balance though!

Pros

Chainguard is genuinely special. The culture here isn't just a slide in a deck — you feel it from day one. Everyone embodies the four principles: customer obsessed, bias for intentional action, serious work with a playful culture, and trust and good intentions as a default. People are exceptionally talented and also just really kind. The collaboration is effortless, there's real passion for the mission, and it's one of the most fun and energizing places I've ever been.

Cons

Fast-paced and ever-changing — but that's what makes it fun and exciting.
