Quality of code is high. People have high intellect. DevOps product so opportunity to learn about various things. They promote you if you put in the effort.
No job security. They are laying off many people. Work life balance is very poor. Expect to work on weekends. They give 1 Friday in 1 month as holiday but you will work on that day due to high pressure and tight deadlines. Expectations are huge. You will feel mental torture from managers. You might be working 12 hours everyday to meet their expectations and it still won't be enough. Managers are in full power, their word is law. If you give accurate estimate of X days, then they try to lower it and question your abilities that it is not that much effort. Egoistic nature of some senior developers. They give you joining bonus, retention bonus but it is nothing but a trap. They can fire you in 6 months and you will have to return that amount to them. Your 6 months of effort is wasted since you will lose joining bonus and performance bonus. Poor place to work overall....Read More

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are always reflecting on the operations of our company and working on ways to improve, and we appreciate the value you see in our product, team and learning opportunities. We are sorry you have that experience at Harness. We encourage everyone to participate in our TGIF program (providing team members 1 Friday off per month) in addition to PTO. Additionally, we believe in building trust through transparency where you can directly reach the leadership team and talk about your concerns. Thank you for everything that you have done at our company and we wish you well in the future.

The company is open to innovation and feedbacks. I like the fact that I am heard in the company and people really recognize others hard work. The peers here are very sharp which helps get things done at pace.
Some people in the leadership team are immature which sometimes hits an engineer. Also, work life balance may sometimes be bad as company has very unrealistic timelines.
My work as software engineer is doing coding, training my peers and developing and designing newer functionalities in the product.

As a developer you get to work with the brightest minds on latest open source tech. The company leadership is very transparent and the information flow from higher management till every engineer is very lucid. Company policies are quite liberal as well. Work-Life balance could be better overall, but for a high growth startup it is still very good
Lack of time to train yourself outside your work areas/domain, however the amount of exposure within your team would be a great learning.
Get to work from home flexibility for as many days you like, & many folks are still working from home. Free lunch everyday in office, monthly food/broadband reimbursement, broadband reimbursement. Compensation is a little low compared to marke

Lots of opportunities to learn. Access to Udemy courses. If you dedicate some time for it, you can become a product expert with the help of the resources available. Got to work with some great people who were really helpful. Pay is decent.
Well, to start with there’s no documentation team now. It was good when we had a dedicated documentation team. Now writers report to their respective engineering manager. If you are looking to become a product expert and not keen on exploring your career as a writer, then you can consider this organization. It’s action packed. From my personal experience: Zero acknowledgment or appreciation for the work you do. Especially, if you are not the kind that blows your own trumpet, you will go unnoticed. You will most probably be the only writer for the entire module and you will be loaded. I had to work with a person on the engineering team who always spoke in a patronising manner. It was extremely toxic to a point I had to report to the HR. It’s not just me. I knew a few others who felt the same way about this person. The point is that such people are allowed to thrive here. They remain unscathed. But there are some genuinely nice people too; totally depends on whom you get to work with. I hope this helps....Read More
