Pros

Only been with SmartThings for just over a month, but so far, it seems like a pretty solid company. People here seem to know their stuff and are building a really cool platform with some cool tech. Work is coming in fast and furious and day to day actiivty can seem very scattered as you are getting pulled around a lot. For me personally, I like that as I'm constanly learning new stuff and helping out where I'm needed. Great benefits. Unlimited PTO / Sick Time policy. Very flexible WFH policy. Super casual dress code. On-site Happy Hours on Thursday. Side note. Marking Career Opportunities and Senior Management 4 star for now, but I really haven't been around long enough to form solid opinions on those.

Cons

It's been a bit tough to find information at times due to the fact the culture is still very much in a start-up mindset so documentation isn't really a priority. If you don't feel comfortable with walking up to people you don't know and asking questions, you might have a tough time ramping up to speed. This might be a false impression, but so far I feel like the company will reward those who are putting in the massive hours (50+ weeks). If you are one who likes to simply put in your 40 and then enjoy life outside of work, you won't be punished, but you might not get super ahead either.

Pros

Research like environment, great people to work with if you know your stuff. Interview process was both amicable and intense. Amicable because it was conducted fully online. I was not asked to travel unnecessarily for it. Plus people I talked to throughout the interview process seemed very knowledgable and kind. Intense because it involved 6 rounds of technical interview from people with various backgrounds. For my job it is required to have a slightly broader scope of knowledge and understanding.

Cons

Too much scope to grow, in person and for the company as whole. The company can really use some pace with massive hiring.
