Pros

- Competitive compensation, especially in Midwest market - Get to work with really, really smart and passionate people. - Technology stack and opportunities to work on interesting technical problems - Get to work on products that millions of people use, with a little bit of a underdog status - Laid back culture of work-hard play-hard - Great leadership response to COVID

Cons

Samsung’s claws have grown deep into SmartThings. There’s really no autonomy within SmartThings leadership, it all comes down from Samsung, and those priorities seem to change on a monthly basis. As an individual contributor, you can mostly stay under this relationship, but expect your team to change your roadmap on a quarterly basis, based on what Samsung deems important. Interesting work doesn’t last long as it is frequently interrupted by bolt-on feature requests. Great people seem to collectively get demoralized, and turnover seems to be high as a result.
