      A Fulfilling Journey of Building a Quality-First Culture

      Pros

      For my six years at Purple, I've had the best time of my career as VP of QA. The company's culture is a major reason why. It's a place where we trust each other, and everyone believes that quality is a job for all of us, not just the QA team. This meant we could move on from simply finding bugs and focus on building a genuinely high quality product. I got to build our QA team and methods from scratch, which was a fantastic chance for us to be innovative and grow. The team at Purple is really close knit, and everyone works together well. It's an incredibly positive and supportive place to be, and that makes coming to work a real pleasure.

      Cons

      The rapid pace of growth at Purple has put pressure on our resources in the QA department. There’s also room for improvement in formalising career progression for our more senior engineers.

      Still the best place I've worked

      Pros

      I've worked at Purple for a while now and it's honestly the best place I've worked for culture. There's a lot of trust, autonomy and accountability. It's a really honest and open culture.

      Cons

      It can often be very high stress/pressure, and the pace sometimes feels like we're working out the plan as we go. I enjoy this kind of culture and pace, but it's definitely not for everyone.

      Hi there, thank you so much for your brutally honest, 5 star review! People who thrive in a fast paced, high trust, high autonomy environment will love it here. If you're looking for a job with a steady routine, where every day is the same, it's probably not going to be the right fit for you.
