Pros

None that i can think of.

Cons

Mass exodus of employees currently due to zero project prioritization at this company. Every team is severely understaffed and they’ll keep adding projects to your plate while every project is considered a P0. oh and they just lost a $30m arbitration to their biggest competitor Samsara for false marketing claims. Zero work life balance Ps filter the reviews to look at US employees because all the “good” reviews are coming from the Pakistan team

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
