Pros

Working at Circle as a Senior Software Engineer has been an amazing experience. The company has a strong product vision and a culture that truly values quality, collaboration, and innovation. The engineering team is incredibly talented, and everyone is passionate about building a product that genuinely helps creators and businesses build meaningful communities. I’ve had the opportunity to work on impactful features, solve interesting technical challenges, and contribute to a product used by thousands of communities around the world. The remote-first culture, supportive teammates, and leadership that trusts engineers to take ownership make it a great place to grow both technically and professionally.

Cons

Honestly, I haven’t encountered any significant downsides so far. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and the company culture, team collaboration, and engineering practices have all been excellent. Like any growing company, there are always opportunities to keep improving processes and scaling systems as the product evolves, but overall I have not found anything that stands out as a major concern.

Pros

Easily the best job I've ever had. The leadership overseeing the team genuinely cares about everyone and I've learned more in my first few months than the last few years. Clear attainable pathways to outsized commission checks. The culture is truly shocking in a good way. You join a new company and you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and at Circle every person you meet, whether they're new or been here for years (very low turnover) is passionate about the mission, product, customers, and company. Having met the whole team at a company offsite (every 6 months, most recently in castle north of Paris. Insane, I know) everyone from the CEO on down is a friendly person that cares about what you have to say and wants to know you. Everyone on the team I want to be friends with. Couldn't be more grateful to work here.

Cons

I only get to see the team in person a few times a year!
