Do not come to work here.

Pros

There are very few and they are certainly not worth it. My guess is they will offer you a very strong compensation package. You will regret if you accept it.

Cons

I wanted to post this review because of the sudden, random five star reviews that started showing up. Very suspicious. There isn't a lot more I can say about how awful it is to work here than what has been said below (the negative reviews are true, they aren't just scorned employees who were weeded out). I will make this simple. You will get more of a "vision" by asking the transients that sit outside the office in Santa Monica than you will from any executive here. The environment is very political. Expect to do what you are told, when you are told or be gone. Also expect to throw your coworkers under the bus at every opportunity in hopes of a 5% raise that may or may not happen. In summary, the reset button needs to be hit on this place. Everyone with a VP title or above needs to be removed and replaced with people who know what they are doing.

Pros

Great brand that is differentiated with consumers. Tons of opportunity to scale business thanks to affinity partner network. New products launching soon. Opinion of company among dealer and OEM clients is improving. Revenue growth will follow. Great place for anyone who is able to thrive in a high-risk/high-reward disruptor business.

Cons

Short-term pressure on margin that goes with being a public company gets in way of some big bets. Management not always aligned on priorities.

Pros

- Most of the engineers are top notch. These are the kind of guys that get tons of headhunting offers, yet they choose to stay here. - Solid CI/CD pipeline - Test engineers can actually code and their automated tests are good - 2019 is going to be an exciting year for new products. - There is a culture of creative problem solving and sharing of ideas. Everyone seems to welcome new ideas and if people agree on it, we actually begin work very quickly. - We realize the talent we have here and take good care of them with lunches, events, and bonuses. - As everyone else points out, the office location rocks.

Cons

- Product executives are not always clear with the direction they want to take and what their priorities are. - Development processes are kind of all over the place. Each team does their own thing. It all basically works out in the end because everyone communicates well and we have awesome devs. But we are not doing things in the most efficient manner across all teams. - Mostly junior product managers
