Pros

- Buildkite is a very self-aware company and I love it. Everything is transparent and not hidden behind closed doors, if there's an issue or something not quite right then it will be brought up and dealt with. Nothing is off limits from discussion, ideas aren't limited, suggestions not dismissed. - Amazing culture and people - Benefits are pretty unreal for an Australian company - The CEO + leadership team - The opportunities (from day to day jobs, to career growth)

Cons

Based on other reviews, maybe some personnel exits weren't handled the best (or maybe some people should have never been hired in the first place) and this has lead to a lot of slamming for the CEO. It's understandable from the point of view from a frustrated or angry person, but take them with a grain of salt.

Pros

If this company is to be successful, the CEO needs to step down. He is impulsive and dangerous to his own company. He also does NOT like when others don’t fully agree with everything he says. If you are not a yes man, you are out. He also likes to brag about being a "Millenial CEO“ while hypocritically criticizing others on linked in. It may not be too late for Buildkite, but the fat lady is warming up. She will start singing if the CEO continues to trip over his own ego. He will learn the hard way that his employees abhor him.

Cons

Company does not live up to its values
