Pros
- Solid compensation, excellent benefits and great work/life balance. - Nest's culture is somewhere between neutral to a slightly warm and casual; some people come to work and go home, others engage a bit more - My manager is technically excellent and easy to talk to; in the past I've felt lucky when either or those has been true, so achieving both is somewhat shocking to me. - There's lots of opportunities to play and learn about different technologies in an interesting space. - Pleasantly surprised by my experience relative to many of the reviews here. I haven't seen anything even remotely toxic or aggressive at any level.
Cons
- Coming from a startup the company feels pretty large and like it's more difficult to find 'that person' you need to answer a question. - Lots of technical debt from a long lived and disparate set of products. This is known and has, or is, being addressed in part or in whole. Unfortunately, there's still quite a bit of effort being put into 'older' platforms.
