Pros
Very Smart People ( though they are jumping ship one after another ), the idea of SimpliSafe as Chad envisioned it was/is great, helping people feel safe in their own home. Getting to work with software that was once written with those values is rewarding. If you end up in an department that’s still run by people that have been there for a while, you will be fine until those people are sidelined by a new incoming director or higher management that may just bring there own people and do a regime change. Still great benefits and unlimited PTO, non competitive compensation, flaky back to office policies, still downtown boston.
Cons
The culture that once defined SimpliSafe as truly one of the best places to work has probably been broken into million pieces, as the culture is kept alive by the people who nurtured it and those people have either left, have been sidelined or are looking for an exit. No Ego was something that was once the cornerstone of the culture and frankly allowed us to innovate and succeed like we did. Chad’s leadership was amazing and that distilled down to every people manager in every organization. Anyone could go talk to Chad or have discussions in an open forum, all hands were never a one way communication thing. Transparency and accountability were things that the company took pride in. May be those are just growing pains as company loses culture to be bigger.
