Pros

Lytx is growing fast, and if you're up for the challenge you can find great opportunities to grow your career there. Leadership is very accessible, and they do a great job of providing avenues for employees to contribute and execute on new ideas. The company is pretty innovative overall, so there are always ways to get experience in new things that interest you. The company also does a lot of promotion from within, and employees have the ability to craft their own career paths. The people rock, and the company does a lot of fun things (ping pong tournaments, baseball games, team outings, etc.) to build that camaraderie. People work hard at Lytx, but they definitely know how to have fun too. And as a bonus, the DriveCam product matters - it has a real impact on people and the community, and it feels great to work for a company that's doing something meaningful. I left because I was moving out of state, but would go back in a heartbeat if I was back in California!

Cons

Things are moving fast (that's what happens when you're growing at such a high rate!), so it can feel like a lot of work just to keep up sometimes.

Pros

Great customers, innovative technology, new leadership is focused on right things. Love the new DRIVE company values.

Cons

A con for some (but pro for most): Competitive industry means lots of change. You need to like working hard and moving fast.

Pros

Hard to tell at this stage

Cons

The senior leadership at this company, particularly the CEO, continues a pattern from his previous roles/companies of prioritizing the hiring of friends and family members. A quick review of his prior company on LinkedIn reveals the same issues persisted there, with little apparent concern for addressing them. This practice creates significant resentment and a clear (and perceived) lack of fairness among employees. The CEO has historically dismissed these concerns with laughter at Lytx and in past companies which ultimately contributed to his downfall. It is likely only a matter of time before this Glassdoor account is censored. Nepotism of this nature serves as a major distraction and has a broadly negative impact on company culture, morale, and performance. As a side note, the lynx representative who responds to Glassdoor reviews comes across as dismissive and condescending. With the current leadership in place, this company will continue to face serious challenges in attracting and retaining talent.

Thank you for your feedback. We take concerns about fairness seriously and are surprised at your sentiment. We do encourage employee referrals, including qualified family members, because great talent often comes through trusted networks, but referrals do not guarantee employment. Every candidate is evaluated through the same hiring process, and hiring decisions are based on qualifications, experience, and the needs of the business. We remain committed to building a high-performing team and fostering a culture where employees can succeed.
