Pros & Cons
incident.io
- Strong culture with a dedicated culture manager — values are practiced, not just stated
- Excellent compensation and benefits with strong career growth opportunities
- Rapid scaling can create instability — some report organizational growing pains
- London-centric with limited remote options for some roles
PostHog
- Extreme transparency — public handbook, open-source everything, radical autonomy
- Generous compensation with competitive pay, equity, and home office budget
- Small team means limited career progression paths
- Top-down decision-making can sometimes override team input
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.
PostHog
Radically transparent open-source culture with 2-3 person autonomous teams, no deadlines, and a public handbook — ideal if you're self-motivated, tough if you need structure.
