I must admit, I get this feeling from using the product over the last 2 years. I moved us over from Jenkins to CircleCI and while on the whole it was positive, we’ve had a lot of issues and the product has failed to live up to some of the promises made in our trial period.
We basically just hit hard edges and missing features very quickly, and what’s there is good, but not great.
Each bit of the product feels good, but it feels like there’s a lack of direction, product thinking, understanding users, or something at a fundamental level that is causing friction.
I have a friend who worked there a few years ago and from her experience it sounds like there are some good engineers, but some careless decisions being made.
