Pros

+ You can learn a ton about multiple technologies + You can shape your career path to some extent + Many people are genuinely passionate about what they do + Certain parts of the company are working on the most cutting edge technologies + Lots of opportunity to be a speaker and evangelist On the positive side - most people at JFrog really care about what they're working on and the opportunities you have access to (if you do the work) are unparalleled for a company this size. You can easily participate in speaking opportunities, technology foundations, partnering with other large tech companies on joint projects, and how far you can go building out a thought leadership career is totally up to you. Overall - I think JFrog is a great place for an early career as you're exposed to ton of things at once. If you are in the later stages of your career, you might have a better experience somewhere else.

Cons

+ Awkward working hours can ruin work/life balance + Not having a remote-first culture makes no sense at a company that is basically half dispersed anyway + Lots of goals and ideas, but the company lacks structure, feels totally unorganized at times + "Walking on eggshells" mentality, but that is slowly changing + Can have a lack of formal career growth processes in place + VP's have no idea how anything actually gets done since they aren't participating JFrog is a good company that is going through difficult growing pains. Employees constantly feel burnt out because there is a real lack of upper management understanding and participating in the on-the-ground strategy of the company. Sometimes it feels like nobody knows what's actually going. It's also frustrating that VP's on various teams still want a say in approving/denying the projects you are involved in even they lend nothing to your ability to execute on them. The discipline of setting and following clear KPI's is lacking and employees are "on their own" to figure things out in a way that doesn't drive towards clear or collective success. They hire good people, but don't have lots of structures in place to help people know if they are succeeding. This is slowly changing and they've made some in-rounds towards changing the things that make their employees feel stuck.

Pros

Great People - You can rely on your coworkers Great Culture - Everyone has a go getter attitude, very willing to help. Fun and frequent work events Great Compensation - Market rates + RSUs Lots of room to grow - Company is growing, offers and supports moving up and even transitions roles Work life balance - Work life balance is good Training - lots of time to ramp up. Very surprised and impressed by how much time they give you to get ready to work on your own. Challenging - This might be a negative for some people, but the work is challenging, a lot is expected of you.

Cons

Not too many cons from my perspective. Probably the best corporate job I've ever had. Training - While I mentioned this as a pro. I felt the training was long and difficult to retain. Most of the learning comes from doing your job Challenging work, but if you can hang with it. It is very rewarding
