Pros

They are using cutting edge technologies Good place to get familiar to new fields and to learn new technologies. If you are eager to learn, you will get what you want there. There are really talented people there. It was a joy to work with them and to learn from them.

Cons

After a while, you will get a nice book with some nice words in it. Claims to be the codex of JFROG and its work ethics. Big pompous words like integrity, open communication and care. Don't be fooled. This company has some semi cult features and they do love using big words to recruit the followers. Most of the time these are empty words. Instead you will find a place with tunes of politics, nepotism and favoritism. It is not your work which counts. Its are your ties and friends. For the rest, good luck Like any cult, if you are believer, keep believing. In exchange you will give away any shred of work-life balance, creativity and the joy to come to work. If you have a problem, don't expect your manager to help or the HR. The HR doesn't care of humans and see them as resources. Most of the non-technological management is unprofessional. They are very poor when it comes to lead people - it is hard to lead if you only expected to follow orders and to get results in any cost (upper management is occupied with the politics to be concern with the simple people). If you are not a believer or if you got into a conflict with the wrong people - beware, your days are numbered. Lots of people left in bad wibes. No other way to exit a cult. Goodbye and thanks for all the shirts

Pros

Having spent a long career in tech, JFrog is easily a top-tier employer. The leadership genuinely cares, the product is an industry standard, and the work-life balance is excellent.

Cons

Because the company is growing so quickly, things change fast. It can be a challenge to keep up with the rapid pace of evolution, but it's an exciting environment if you enjoy staying on your toes.

Pros

Great People - You can rely on your coworkers Great Culture - Everyone has a go getter attitude, very willing to help. Fun and frequent work events Great Compensation - Market rates + RSUs Lots of room to grow - Company is growing, offers and supports moving up and even transitions roles Work life balance - Work life balance is good Training - lots of time to ramp up. Very surprised and impressed by how much time they give you to get ready to work on your own. Challenging - This might be a negative for some people, but the work is challenging, a lot is expected of you.

Cons

Not too many cons from my perspective. Probably the best corporate job I've ever had. Training - While I mentioned this as a pro. I felt the training was long and difficult to retain. Most of the learning comes from doing your job Challenging work, but if you can hang with it. It is very rewarding
