Overall, HashiCorp is a good place to work but policies and politics are slowly creeping into the company. The promotion, leveling and compensation pieces of the company could use some work.
- Good company - Good people - Good products - Challenging work - Increased politics - Turning into a big company with too many policies - A long time to ramp up on complicated code bases and product - Poor pay
They are super intelligent and hard working.
Working on things that provide value.
Working on deeply technical issues that provide value. Open Source.
Kindness hands down. HC is very good at finding very good people.
I like that they are humble, approachable and easy to talk to.
I enjoy that Dave and Armon are down to earth and speak common sense.
My team is extremely technical, helpful and they let me get my work done.
I work with highly intelligent and experienced people. A lot of our work takes specialized skills.
I get to be extremely technical and i am working on products that I use and believe in.
My manager seems to put people first and cares more about the longevity of the team inside of short term wins.
Region based pay is a terrible idea. You have extremely skilled people, with the same expenses as the U.S. who get paid 1/2 as much.
Region based pay means that I get paid 1/2 of what a peer does even though the cost of living is the same. I still love the company and work despite this.
The company seems to place a very high value on being an engineering culture and values the input of engineers. It should stay this way and not get bogged down by process and politics.
The company puts a heavy emphasis on hiring good people and it shows in day to day interactions. Also, the RFC process is amazing. It takes some upfront work but it means that when you work on something you end up doing the correct thing.
Different salaries per area is not really working. Hashicorp is competing with companies that will pay top .U.S. salaries and not care where you live. It is a global market. We dont have to pay S.F. salaries but the salaries havent kept up with competitors or inflation.
