Pros

Folks that work hard and are trying to figure out what to do. Remote first roles.

Cons

Sinking ship! 3 RIFs in 2 years. No CEO because the former CEO Bill Welch hired all his buddies into E level roles they were grossly inexperienced in. They are all gone now but the damage is done. They will end up selling the intellectual property and cease to exist.

Pros

A typical day at Sysdig is fast-paced, collaborative, and full of problem-solving. You’re constantly learning — whether it’s cloud security, Kubernetes, or how to work cross-functionally with incredibly smart teammates. Management is transparent, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping people grow, not just hit numbers. The culture is one of ownership, humility, and teamwork; people jump in to help each other without ego. The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the rapid change of the cloud-native world, but that’s also what keeps the work exciting. The most enjoyable part is seeing the direct impact of your work on customers and knowing you’re working with a team that truly cares. Sysdig is a place where you feel challenged, supported, and proud of what you build together.

Cons

The main challenge is that Sysdig is shifting toward incorporating agentic AI into the next generation of its product, so some teams are still adapting to new workflows and evolving priorities. It’s an exciting transition, but it does require flexibility as the organization moves quickly to innovate.

Pros

- The compensation is excellent - Coworkers were fantastic.

Cons

- Lack of Direction: The company seems to have no clear direction. - Layoffs: Like many other tech companies, they conduct layoffs every year. This year's layoffs were particularly extreme, with entire teams being let go. The remaining employees are expected to take on the increased workload, with the management claiming that they can utilize Claude code.
