Pros

After Google bought us the financials improved greatly with Google helping us grow and expand. People you work with are top engineers .

Cons

Too many people. Hard to figure out who is responsible for what. Used to be a small company and now part of Google collective. Upper management has no understanding of work life balance.

Pros

The caliber of people at Nest - and the always-present drive for quality and pushing limits - makes it an incredibly rewarding place to work. Each employee has the opportunity to add value, even outside of his or her direct area of responsibility, and there is heavy emphasis on teamwork versus individual contributions. I can truly say that I love coming to work each day. To top it off, comp and benefits are amazing.

Cons

Working from home is discouraged, which can be tough with the commute.

Pros

- you decide what your role & impact is here at Nest - it's a start-up with the talent & resources to quickly become a Fortune 100 company - the leadership, Tony & Matt specifically, know what they want, provide clarity, and work hard to take us from good to great - seeing the other reviews & comments and having been at other companies with diffuse leadership & direction, i'm more than happy to be at Nest

Cons

- to grow at this pace is hard - to onboard new people is disorienting, for both the people coming on board & people managing them
