Got offered a Staff level role at #Harness, reading lots of bad reviews for WLB mainly from ppl working for harness in India. How is wlb and culture for harness in USA?

The company has tripled in valuation from 2019 April to 2021 Jan, how strong is the future outlook for this company? Any idea of when they want to IPO?

Offer:
Base 194K
Stock Options 37000 (@1.7B valuation - 83K/year)
TC: 277K

1.7B valuation is from back in the Jan funding round so they're likely worth more now.

Also any ideas what numbers to Target for staff for stock options and base? The upside and growth of the company is interesting but strongly negative wlb reviews and comp isn't super exciting

    It’s equally bad wherever you are. Most of my time here, I’ve seen this constant pressure to deliver, so people who lose out on life by working till AM morning hours or slog on the weekend to impress higher management stand out. You need to decide that you’ll be ok to accept that as normal thing to happen here or else you won’t just stand out. So, naturally, WLB has gone to shit. IPO is definitely many years away.

    IPO is in 3-4 years. Wlb is not great, but becoming manageable. Code base is not great, but thats why they are hiring great people now. Staff should be around 50lpa( base plus var)

      No of esops looks insane, but then strike price is really increasing so you need to take a call that you should be looking to stay atleast till the IPO.

    I think we'll IPO in the 4 year time frame. The company is doing well.

    WLB is bad, tech quality is bad, engineers are low quality, management sucks on every level, titles are inflated BUUUTT the company is doing well.

    Ask for a lot of money, they'll seek approvals to get you it.
