- New people have brought a lot of fresh perspective and optimism - Lots of on the job learning

Minpunten

- Everything is super chaotic - Culture of striving to satisfy customers in crisis mode - Not enough engineers which leads to mismatched skillsets for projects - Poor values / company culture - Teams are siloed and collaboration and cross-communication is discouraged under the guise of “stealth mode.” but there has been no communicated desire for company to emerge from stealth mode - Minimal training for employees (everything on a need-to-know basis) - Male-dominated workplace, lack of respect for female employees - Expectation that you will drop everything to satisfy last min requests late at night and over the weekends - Heavy messaging on your personal phone - Unrealistic expectations set by leadership that get passed down to individuals - CEO uses town hall meetings to blame people/teams he thinks are underperforming - Central path of approval through CEO makes it difficult to get things done - Lots of office politics - No perks

Pluspunten

If you're looking for a place where there is a shared common goal of being successful, this place is for you. If you want a place that you can learn under some true giants in the space, people with decades of knowledge & experience, and hard workers--this place is for you! My time here has been nothing short of incredible, the opportunity to execute & succeed is unparalleled. The organization is flat so you have a voice that is heard all the way to the CEO, where you can make real change. Each day is something exciting, and each day I feel rewarded for the effort that I put in--hard work NEVER goes unnoticed here! Your peers are truly exceptional, everyone inspires to want to be the best version of yourself.

Minpunten

This place isn't full of handholding, the company is on a path for greatness with extraordinary individuals--BEWARE, spending too much time around this many exceptional people may accidently make you exceptional too if you let it!

Pluspunten

Leadership has made real, noticeable strides in improving the culture. If you've read older reviews, I'd encourage you to weigh recent ones more heavily — the software teams in the company today are meaningfully different and continuing to move in the right direction. If you want to actually build things — not just maintain someone else's legacy codebase — this is the place. I've gotten to architect and ship large-scale systems from zero to one on a small, agile team where your work has immediate, visible impact. There's no hiding behind layers of process here. You own your work end to end, and that level of autonomy has accelerated my growth more than any big-company role could have. The IoT technology is legitimately fascinating. This isn't another SaaS CRUD app — you're working at the intersection of hardware and software on problems that are technically challenging and commercially meaningful. I've also gotten far more exposure to the business side than I ever expected as an engineer. You understand why you're building what you're building, and that context makes the work more rewarding.

Minpunten

If you're coming from a large company and need highly structured processes, defined career ladders, and established playbooks for everything, this will be an adjustment. The tradeoff for autonomy and speed is the extra difficulty of working through ambiguity. Personally I see that as a positive, it's one of the most important skills to improve — but it's worth knowing what you're signing up for, it isn't easy.
