Pros

- Free daily lunch - Great medical benefits - Competitive pay - Flexible hours - Free Ubiquiti gear

Cons

There are definitely some issues with the development and project management process but most of these issues can be overlooked and even embraced by the right developers. The primary issue with Ubiquiti is the disdain that upper management has for its employees. Engineers, QA, business, compliance, managers, you name it. Make one mistake that management hears about and you're on the "bad employee" list. Upper management was often demeaning to employees in private meetings (at least it wasn't publicly). Employees are seen as disposable. Entire offices have been closed in a single day. Best financial year ever? Fire 10% of the work force. Most of the employees that I spoke too were worried about their jobs even they were doing their jobs well. Morale is always low. Employees aren't trusted to do their jobs. Upper management felt the need to micro manage most aspects of the business. If you disagree with anything you'll immediately be turned down and put on the aforementioned "bad employee" list. If you're looking for a long-term career, look elsewhere. Even if you're looking for something short-term, I can't recommend Ubiquiti.

Pros

* I get to see and test some pretty cool products, and help the developers refine and improve them * There are plenty of opportunities to learn and improve your skills * The pay and benefits are fantastic * I get to work with some brilliant people, both on my team and in other departments * It's incredibly satisfying to find an issue and see it fixed

Cons

* Priorities can shift quickly, so be prepared to be flexible * Occasionally it can seem like our results for product testing are brushed off by the developers * The management structure is very flat, so upward movement is difficult * Did I mention that priorities shift quickly? We test dozens of products, and we are expected to produce results very quickly * The job is technically hybrid, but because most of the products we test are hardware, it can be difficult to work from home

Pros

- Startup mentality (lots of independent, meaningful work) - Take your own initiative (need to be proactive with tasks) - Good for expanding knowledge (get to work on several different product lines) - Flexibility (able to build your own hours, work when you need to, to get tasks done) - Benefits and Pay (amazing pay and benefits from the employer, would not trade it for anything)

Cons

- Face-paced environment (tasks can change on the daily, it's challenging but rewarding) - Working overtime (might be asked to work outside of normal hours - help finish urgent tasks) Overall, I think if you are looking for a challenge this is the perfect job for you. You are able to push yourself and learn a lot about the world of technology (networking, cyber-security, surveillance, etc.) So many different and unique products that Ubiquiti produces.
