Pros

Good insurance and PTO. Some nice employees (though most of them left)

Cons

Terrible, inexperienced management. Wyze is a product/marketing company with engineers treated as second hand employees. Most of the accolades goes to the product managers or marketing people while engineers are overworked, incurring more and more tech debt along the way to handle so many product launches. When we try to voice our concerns, it just gets bounced out ( especially our ever clueless CTO who keeps making excuses and make war references instead of actually making any effort). There were a handful of good engineers keeping this ship from sinking but many have left and quite a few are unhappy.

Pros

Most of the colleagues are nice and talented.

Cons

1. Below-Market Compensation: Salary and overall benefits package are not competitive compared to industry standards. ​2..Deficit in Leadership Quality: There is a noticeable lack of strategic vision, core leadership skills, and basic professional respect for employees from upper management. ​3. Exploitative Management Tactics: Some managers deliberately target and hire candidates on visas (such as those requiring green card sponsorship) to leverage their immigration status, creating an environment of overwork and psychological pressure. 4. Unethical Reputation Management: Leadership desperately mandates employees to post fake positive reviews online to artificially boost the company's rating. This counterproductive approach only highlights management's insecurity and refusal to address the actual root causes of low morale.
