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
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
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.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
