Pros & Cons
incident.io
- Strong culture with a dedicated culture manager — values are practiced, not just stated

Bottom Line
incident.io
Exceptional culture (4.5 stars) with genuine values, great benefits including 10% pension match, and kind colleagues — but London-centric with some layoff scars from 2024.
