Pros

Company is growing fast and is building on its success. They say "No Ego" and it's pretty much true. Everyone is approachable and friendly, welcoming to new ideas and eager to learn from your expertise. They really make you feel like you're part of the team and ask you to dive right in which means that you can have an impact right away. Management also really listens and cares. Seen a ton of changes and improvements based on feedback since I've been here, like more frequent and transparent communication, better pay, and more equitable treatment of people. All changes for the better.

Cons

Has some of the typical gaps and pains that come with a high growth company. Seems that the company went on a hiring spree during the pandemic, which means a bunch of new people (like me) who are trying to get traction. No formal training.

Pros

Some of the highlights: Close knit group Very friendly, helpful people Flexible work environment Good work/life balance Growing rapidly and performing well

Cons

They’re getting cheaper by the day, and are now charging employees for apparel. Yes, employees now pay for their SimpliSafe branded shirts and hoodies. Holiday bonus is now gone. We constantly stock out of inventory because we’re “running lean”. There is practically no communication or transparency from leadership. Departures and promotions go unannounced. We read about recent funding in a newspaper article. New hires just show up on Zoom without any introduction from management. When they do get introduced, the manager does all the talking and the new employee doesn’t even get face time or the chance to speak for themselves. Cannot get a new product right. Constant delays and false starts. Very discouraging for a company who claims to be innovative. As we grow, there are more and more levels of Directors and Sr. Directors added to the teams. This is creating several layers of management and manager level employees having less and less autonomy and control.
