Advice to Management

Keep up the great progress. Consider giving more performance based equity incentives as earned.

Pros

Products are heading in the right direction. Engineering team has strong leadership and the market is embracing the messaging. Events staff is superb.

Pros

Great product, but product is not enough

Advice to Management

Move on.

Pros

Brilliant founders and early product and engineering leaders humble enough to build great products and define the market but not try and run the company through it's second phase of growth. Their commitment to the company principles is a key reason HashiCorp continues to thrive. Hiring amazing new people into engineering and product management to help with growth.

Advice to Management

Keep focused on the culture you have built, the people are what make this place great.

Pros

Fast paced, extreme high growth company that provides technology that helps the world move to cloud .. but with this early success we continue to be very focused on sustaining a positive and humble culture .. and this seems authentically important to the management team .. its not just lipservice.

Some of the best people I have worked with in my career, work here at HashiCorp. HashiCorp employees are generally driven, kind, committed, brilliant and specifically the product and engineering teams have wonderful chemistry while doing great work. Most everyone is bought in to the Tao .. and that makes it a good place to be

Armon and Mitchell are awesome with a clear vision of where they want to take the technology strategically all while being humble, brilliant, always ready to help, and super accessible

The technology is compelling and relevant with a great open source community around it. CEO is impressive who seems up close like a deeply intellectual strategic thinker, assertive and good communicator that provides a calming influence to the org, which is important given how fast the company is growing .. marketing, support and product leadership are excellent .. sales VP is impressive and capable .. both VPs of eng transitioning their roles are super competent. Overall, the management team is good and that is reflected in the pace of which the company has grown in the last year while still maintaining our core principles

HashiCorp at its very center is an engineering focused company that has a large engineering org footprint given the relative size of the company. The quality and depth of the engineering teams is amazing and its inspirational to work with this collection of talent every day. Management actively strives to ensure that the engineering staff who are mostly distributed in home offices around the country and the world feel included, empowered, and informed as much as possible - and while its not always perfect outcomes, it does seem that there is always a perfect level of effort by engineering management and team members to ensure that it all stays together and works

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing, talking to your teams and valuing their feedback. The culture is critical and its not all about the numbers all the time and this balance is what makes HashiCorp such a uniquely wonderful company .. and I believe the trade secret that has made us so successful so quickly. As we continue to grow at this pace in the next year please ensure that we continue to value it and protect our core values from apathy, from changing management priorities, and are aggressive in protecting the org morale from the very few internal net detractors. The focus on culture and our values makes this all work including the numbers

Pros

Some of the best people I have worked with. Everyone is working towards a common goal and the energy is very positive throughout all departments

Advice to Management

Keep working towards the common goals. Keep the culture in front view as it is the lifeblood of the company. Overall, great work!

Pros

Challenging workspace, frequently changing, fast paced, amazing product, founders are still involved and great people.

Product and engineering teams are very collaborative, humble and know their stuff.

Pros

Most coworkers are really great to work with, our Sales team is great, and the company has a very positive outlook. HashiCorp is solving real problems for huge companies. People love our products and want them, as opposed to companies desperately trying to sell themselves. Recently raised a Series C for $40MM.

Advice to Management

Show your employees you value them, starting with competitive compensation & benefits.

Pros

Outstanding vision by the founders for identifying a huge need in both the data center and cloud infrastructure spaces, which is efficient infrastructure automation using tools that don't require heavy lifting (i.e. hundreds of lines of code).

Advice to Management

Keep doing what your doing!

Pros

Working on challenging products that are getting more and more popular with companies people have heard of is very rewarding. Everyone is very experienced in their fields and your opinions are valued.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work, take time to refactor, encourage cross-collaboration, and thanks for being so transparent.
