Pros

Cyanogen was a great place to work when I started. More management was brought in, and everything slowly went downhill. Hopefully the new CEO can fix it.

Cons

* Management is clueless about what their employees are working on. * Too many buzzwords. Obviously their product needs more sockets and graphs to be successful. * Focused on metrics over everything else. * Laid off a large chunk of employees, then started hiring again the next week. * Plans to monetize their product were always half-baked, and almost always were things users wouldn't want. * Focused too much on hiring for certain positions (SE), while other positions were desperately needed as they were understaffed/overworked. * Quality of new candidates dropped drastically while I was there.

Pros

The people are nice and I learned a lot from the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Lack of communication, c-suite manages in absentia and doesn't take accountability. Promotes a toxic culture of smoke and mirrors and doesn't reward hard work and commitment.
