      Zero hope whatsoever without a management change

      Pros

      -Great Seattle area employees. Made some friends I'll hang onto. -If you want to work on Android OS it doesn't get much cooler than this. -New devices, cell phones, etc, all the time. -Paid pretty well, but benefits were lacking, so kind of a wash as far as that goes.

      Cons

      -Employees in remote locales are less than completely honest. -Sr management treats employees like cattle that is replaceable at any time. -HR\Operations demonstrates open hostility to employees on an ongoing basis. -Sr Management is totally clueless, and void of any idea how to monetize things. Plans are completely thrown out every 3-4 months, and employees laid off because management can't figure things out. -Bus dev guys sign the company up for projects with a 2 week delivery time frame, and the Dev team takes at least 1.5 months to get Cyanogen OS up and running. Never mind time for testing! -Quality control takes a back seat, and is all but the last priority. CTO drives ship cycles based on how much negative feedback he is getting on social media. -CEO displays open disdain for the employees as well, shouting them down and talking over them in company meetings. Often times just dismissing questions outright that were NOT answered.

      Pros

      * The best Android and embedded systems team you'll find, anywhere. * First year was electric and even though the company is a smoldering rotting carcass now, the former staff are still close friends. * The open-source project that was the foundation of the company is still going strong.

      Cons

      * Narcissistic former CEO ruined the company's culture and reputation, pushed out the original founder, then got himself fired. Looks like hostile takeover now. * New management team is clueless. Didn't know what they had, wouldn't listen to anyone who did, fired all the engineers (troublemakers) and product teams. * Design teams are kept spinning for months on end by CEO creating "vision pieces" which never see the light of day * Awful HR management who only comes to the office to fire people * Exec team doesn't care about anything other than backstabbing each other and taking shortcuts.

      Look elsewhere, the company is far too unstable.

      Pros

      The other employees. The snacks and drinks are a plus but for the most part, people are here for each other, not the company. When I got here, I was ecstatic about the team and ideas, we had company events and great people to attend with. As execs got hired, it got worse.

      Cons

      * Management will lead you to believe they have it under control even while doing the exact opposite. * People walked around feeling like every day was their last (Look how 7/22 ended) * HR violations daily. * They will hire new execs to replace the team members. * They will cover the windows to the main meeting office to write a list of upcoming layoffs. * Absolutely no direction and a new pivot every quarter. * ASTRONOMICAL amounts of spent cash by execs on retreats (before they lay you off) * Asking about current sentiment will lead to 'haters gonna hate' * The community originally behind company will back out, most of it has. * The drive for monetary gains is high but initiative is low. * 'Good ole boy network' is decimating what's left of leadership. * Employees openly walk around discussing new careers. * They tell you "20%" bonus but don't count on that, at most you will see roughly 5-6%. * Regardless of your evaluation, execs can have your Mgr laid off. * This company is just as shaky at the base as it is up top based on recent performance. * Layoffs happen every 6-8 months.
