PagerDuty Employee Reviews

At PagerDuty, we’re committed to our employees’ holistic well-being, especially during the holidays. Our approach to helping our team recharge is exemplified by our holiday shutdown. Each December, “HibernationDuty” allows team members to fully disconnect and recharge for a week, while a small coverage crew maintains critical operations. This unique program offers employees precious time to refresh, reflect and create cherished memories with loved ones, free from work-related concerns.

What People Are Saying About PagerDuty

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Work is described as hybrid with remote options and team-set in-office cadence, allowing people to manage personal commitments. Materials emphasize respecting time zones and clear expectations, which helps protect off-hours.
  • Recovery Time: Company-wide Wellness Days and the December "HibernationDuty" provide predictable time away to disconnect. Guidance also recommends cooldown periods after heavy incident shifts, signaling attention to rest and recovery.
  • Burnout Prevention: Public on-call playbooks focus on humane rotations, alert hygiene, and blameless learning to reduce stress. Managerial guidance encourages regular on-call reviews and remediation to lower repeat pages over time.
