Pros
They have the three Ps--People, Pay, and Product -People: everyone is extremely friendly, and Bitrise puts culture at the forefront. The company actually cares about its employees which is extremely rare. This is not an "employees have complaints so we got a new snack in the kitchen instead of actually caring" type place. -Pay: paying well is actually part of their policy. Good pay is part of good culture -Product: a great tool that's going to continue to have rapid adoption. It's easy enough to use that even AEs can easily demo it. This also means there are quite a few inbound leads which is refreshing for those that have been primarily outbound. Leadership is also fantastic--they have a strong vision that will continue to be successful, and they're also very collaborative. No micromanagement and take employee feedback to heart on different ways to make the company the best it can be.
Cons
They're moving 100 miles a minute because of the success they're having, but with that there are side effects. 1. Processes. They're messy and constantly changing. This is a work in progress though, so it won't be this way forever. 2. You definitely need to be available all the time. Normal in sales, especially when working with customers, but it's common here to get slacks from 6am to 11pm, Saturdays and Sundays. Not highly unusual, and the job is worth it, it's just a guaranteed workflow that you'll have. The pro here though is if you need someone in the off hours, you'll most likely get a response quickly. These cons are not to tell people to avoid Bitrise, I highly recommend anyone to work here

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Salary and other perks are quite good
Cons
It's hard to summarize how disappointed I was when I realized that Bitrise is nothing more than a polished startup that's more like an enterprise with a lot of opportunistic managers, committees, cargo-cult scrum and multiple levels of micromanagement. - Engineers are hired without any strategy: if you are coming from a "well-known" company, you'll be hired, it doesn't matter that you don't know about Ruby or Go that Bitrise mostly uses in its systems. - Go is the desired language to implement new things, but actually very few engineers know about it (you don't have to know it to get hired!), so the results of these green-field developments are mostly chaotic. - There are almost as many managers and VPs as engineers, and you have to get an approval for everything you want to do, except the very tiny bugfixes. You have to create a PoC and an RFC, then almost everybody in the engineering should be aboard with your idea. A lot of great initiatives has been postponed or simply cancelled by this bureaucracy.
Continue readingWe're really sorry to hear that your Bitrise journey did not turn out as you expected it. As much as we understand your feelings, we would really love to throw our two cents in. Autonomy is a key part of our culture, we value and embrace it. What makes our team successful is owning and solving problems and you are allowed to screw up. Because we are doing an uncharted path, so our biggest motivation is learning and experimenting: fail, iterate, rise, repeat… Creating scalable processes and solutions are absolutely necessary for us to move forward at even higher speed. Our middle management enables us to hire, retain and develop talented professionals, no matter what background they came from. We believe in people, collaboration and honest feedback. Thank you for being with us and lots of success for the future!
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Independence, interesting area, company culture
Cons
Fast-growing company, start-up background, engineering heavy product
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Rapid growth in a company that's carving out a new category. Not by making people want things, but by making something people want. Amazing place to rapidly learn and grow, and supercharge your career
Cons
Change comes often and it comes quick. Inherent to the type of company, really, but still definitely not suited for everyone. 4/5 for diversity and inclusion, as - even though everyone cares and is welcoming of everyone, regardless of background, race or gender - it's still a very white and male organization
