Pros

Engineers and designers at Cyanogen - THUMBS UP! Seriously, you guys are awesome. For the onlookers: If you see an application from a recent/current engineer/designer (NOT from management) from Cyanogen for a relevant role at your company, cut short their interview process and you won't regret it. If you are thinking of joining this company yourself, remember - there are much easier ways in this world to feel doomed.

Cons

Cyanogen is a classic example of how a promising startup could go wrong when you let incompetent people drive the leadership. I wouldn't be surprised if this company is remembered as Google's most unsuccessful self-proclaimed competitor ever.

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.
