Pros
StrongDM offers fully remote work and pays more than the average startup, so if compensation is your priority, this can be a great place to land.
Cons
The management culture leaves a lot to be desired. Many people have been promoted into leadership roles without the necessary experience or skills, and it shows. There’s a lack of clear structure and process, and feedback loops are virtually nonexistent. As a result, micromanagement tends to replace real mentorship. Accountability is often avoided, and leadership struggles to own missteps or support the professional development of their teams. Managers tend to take themselves too seriously, creating a top-down environment that lacks collaboration or trust.
