Pros & Cons
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
Vercel
- Building the future of web infrastructure — Next.js, Turbopack, edge runtime
- Remote-first with strong async culture — true flexibility
- High expectations and fast pace can lead to burnout
- Leadership sets very high standards — the pace isn't for everyone
Bottom Line
PostHog
PostHog — check Glassdoor for detailed reviews.
Vercel
Choose Vercel if you want to build Next.js and edge runtime — but the pace is relentless and standards are sky-high.
