Pros

The title says it all. - Overall a very good company to work for in Silicon Valley. - Has some of the most hard working and talented engineers and designers. - Every body is crazily obsessed with design and user experience and that is what makes the products click with customers. - Has some of the best employee benefits and perks program among similar tech companies. - Has a very open culture within the organization. - Has a CEO (Tony Fadell) that get's involved in the nitty-gritty details of product design/engineering because every single person in the company is working towards the same mission - making great products!

Cons

- Currently facing some growing pains. - Needs to find ways to shorten product development cycles. - Needs to find the right balance while walking the tight rope between having an identity of its own while also adopting technology/best practices from Google.

Pros

I have never been bored during the 2.5 years I've worked at Nest; everyday I am tackling real issues and problems that push me to grow and become sharper. I am always challenged to think differently and faster in Tony meetings and while it's stressful it's why I am here. I didn't leave more former company (which I loved) to jump into something easy - or stagnant. I wanted to grow and become better and everyday that's what happens at Nest.

Cons

We need to figure out how to execute without so many meetings.
