Pros

Hey there 👋 I feel pretty grateful and lucky to be here. As someone who started in the sales team, I've been able to learn about other functional areas of the business and grow into a new exciting role. I'm especially encouraged by the investments our CEO and management team have placed in nurturing the people and company culture. - Remote work is supported. It is dependent on the hiring manager, so if this is important to you, be sure to bring it up in your interviews. - Company is transparent about financial performance. A few times per quarter, we meet to review the numbers and get a chance to ask questions. - People have autonomy. From my experience, and from what I've observed in other departments, micromanagement is not a thing. - People work 40 hours weeks. I can't account for every person in the company, but most of the year this is what I observe. - People here are welcoming, helpful, smart, and refreshingly friendly. - Matt, our CEO has been communicative, pragmatic, considerate, and a leader. He has the mindset of a servant leader, which makes solving problems rewarding and fun. - Our products are so good y'all. GitKraken Client is *chef's kiss* and I'm pretty optimistic about GitLens and Git Integration for Jira. - We're growing and hiring. I personally love onboarding new Krakeneers, so I'm excited to see new faces join.

Cons

- We recently went through an acquisition, and so there a lot of sawdust flying around. Those seeking established company policies and workflows may find it still forming here, but there's the opportunity to help shape it. - We've run a lean ship for a long while now. However, we've been meaningfully expanding and reinforcing existing team members. A welcome change. - We have US and international teams, which makes coordinating meetings tricky.

Pros

Working at GitKraken provides a tremendous amount of opportunities. The team is extremely welcoming to new employees. You get the best in hardware and technical tools to help deliver quality output. The culture is very inviting, and has a wonderful work-life balance. There are employees who have been here almost 10 years! That is unheard of in software. What I have noticed is that the work is stimulating, the balance is appropriate, and the team fosters a great, safe working environment. GitKraken has some very seasoned team members running the business. The heads of Marketing, Product, Engineering and Finance are excellent communicators, extremely professional, friendly and very well versed in their craft. They are all a pleasure to work with! The teams here are all really good at what they do and love helping each other become better each day. GitKraken recently hired a new CEO to help drive their product initiatives into market. I can say he is doing a superb job with the team. I love his drive, professionalism, and most importantly his positive influence on the teams throughout the business. I highly recommend working with this team if you are given the opportunity.

Cons

I would not call this a GitKrakn Con - more general working remote / office standard… If you are remote or in the office - Always remember your peers are just a DM away - share your work with everyone frequently, and don’t forget to take nice, long walks away form the monitors throughout the day to help your precious eyes and mind!
