Pros
- Everyone I worked with was excellent and talented - Managers, directors, and HR cares about career growth and mental health - Lots of exciting products to work on - Competitive compensation - Remote work is nice The people at Latch are the highlight of the company. I think the leadership team performed well in the first two years I joined. Back then we had problems every startup had but we managed to launch and sell products well enough. Luke knew each one of us and took time to chat with us. I felt that he cared a lot about culture, diversity, and inclusion.
Cons
Like many others, I got laid off. It's a tough economy for hardware companies right now, and there were decisions that could have been made better. Unfortunately, any bad decision is 10x worse when there's bad financial outlook coming up. There was too much confusion about roadmaps, our focus, and our org structure strategy. It seemed like there was a lot of politics within the leadership team.
