Pros

- Good brand recognition, everybody in DevOps knows CircleCI. - Generally nice and welcoming people

Cons

- No vision, no strategy. There is no clear mid-long term plan. The product has no competitive advantage and isn't a good fit for a lot of companies running more complex than average builds. Basically selling on brand recognition built thanks to their free tier but the platform is going nowhere and lagging behind the rest of the market. - No real company culture, no real identity. Their is absolutely no focus on employee well-being or growth. It feels like what a souless remote working organisation would be like. - Senior management is a clueless as any new recruit in the CI/CD space. Don't expect them to bring any added value to the table. - If you're a POC or a women be ready to receive less than favorable treatment. Just read the other reviews here for confirmation that this a widespread problem at CircleCI.
