Pros
- Great mission you can stand behind: Skills-based hiring, matching every developer with the right job. - There are some great companies working with HackerRank that have seen tremendous success and ROI. The product is definitely a leader in the market - One of the biggest core values at the company is customer delight. We definitely put the customer first in most situations, all internals teams (including the CEO) are happy to jump in and help to ensure the customer is happy. - Vivek (CEO) and exec team are all very approachable, open and receptive to feedback. All weekly exec meetings notes are posted on an "open source" channel so everyone is aware of what's going on with the company - It's a typical start-up culture - open and collaborative. All my coworkers have been great to work with, everyone is willing to help each other out to make each other and the company successful. There is not that intense competition between teams that you can find at some companies.
Kontras
- With half the team across the globe/in a different time zone, it can be difficult for internal communication. This can be improved among all teams. Sometimes it's unclear when certain product features will be released, which can be frustrating. - Although a market leader, there are a lot of competitors biting at our ankles. We need to be faster to innovate and more receptive to customer feedback else they will catch up.
