Keen enthusiastic engineering teams working on great technology and leading the world. What's not to like.

Cons

Struggling a little with the speed of organisational growth which can make things seem much less well managed than in a longer-established company.

Thanks for leaving a review. We're in a very good position to reach billions of devices, so we're quite optimistic for the future! Because we've done so well recently, we've also grown quite rapidly. To your point, we have struggled to keep up with the growth in a manner that allows our engineers to function at their more efficient. That being said, we are catching up to where we need to be for the future, and not just for where we needed to be a few years back when. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic again in one year's time, as employees can leave a review once a year! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
