Chaotic and unstructured

Pros

Flexible schedules, and good benefits. Free lunches daily and a good working environment. Solid team of engineers working on projects.

Cons

The management and CEO are not familiar with software products and the iterative steps they require to scale. At any point the CEO may deem your team a failure and terminate the team. There is no defined metric for success or failure that is adhered to.

Terrible Leadership

Pros

Health care is top notch. Work flexibility was nice. Pay was very competitive.

Cons

The CEO views people as nothing more than a means to an end. Regularly fires people with no notice or any opportunity to correct their performance. He has surrounded himself with yes men at the top that never push back on him or challenge his decision making. It is literally the weirdest company I have worked for in that regard. Everyone works in fear, so they cow-tail to Robert Pera to keep him off them. He regularly berated employees publicly and I have never heard him praise a single persons efforts or results. You will receive absolutely zero career development here. If that is something you are looking for, look elsewhere.

Mess of a Company to Work for, Good Products

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Lunch everyday - Awesome health care benefits - Ability to work remotely - Because they are so lean, you will likely work on high-impact projects. - Company makes good products (even if they release way before they are ready) - There is a formula for continued success as a company at Ubiquiti - lean, lean, lean, good products

Cons

- Complete lack of corporate structure leads to chaos. No one knows what they are supposed to be working on, they just try to pick what they think they should be doing and hope that was the right answer (it had better be) - You will be held accountable for other people's mistakes, and do work that is completely out of your job description - Robert has his favorites, and if that does not include you or your manager, your life will be miserable - No respect for your personal life/time. Get a message from RJP at 10PM or on the weekend? That's working time - Company really prides itself on being lean, but really they are just understaffed. I have never seen such a profitable company be so stingy (don't expect nice raises or bonuses just because you are working for one of the wealthiest persons in the US) - No good/moral cause for Ubiquiti. "Connecting everyone, everywhere" is a nice thought, but not really practiced. Robert just wants to be the next Cisco and to be seen as a Bezos-like disruptor. I could go on, but I'm going to save my time. Basically, everyone is constantly stressed about their job security and which direction RJP will direct his anger next. As a result, everyone just ends up trying to point blame at others and it becomes a huge CYA mess.
