Toxic workplace and bosses

Sr. product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can slack if you need to, company doesn't really care about best performance so why worry

Cons

Vivint has an extreme LDS, bro culture. Bosses regularly threaten to fire in various departments, as I have seen myself and heard from others. They follow a stick culture and there is no carrot/ incentive to perform well. This over the years has lead to mediocrity. You will probably not learn anything new here apart from saving yourself from toxic politics that your manager lays out for you. Other departments have the same culture leading to constant fire fighting, and lack of vision Leadership thinks they have the right to question on a button color in public launch meetings when they cannot guide on company vision. An absolute disaster of a company! Go read the news and you will not be surprised why Vivint has the reputation it does with customers, legal and shareholders

Slow execution, Low pay and political landscape for promotional / career growth

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch and a decent snack program

Cons

I found that Vivint doesn't understand what it takes to execute on technology. The leaders will make promises totally out of sync with reality, then ask team to execute which is essentially setting up the team for failure. On a separate note, the career growth and promotional track is extremely random and difficult to capture. There are very few examples of people getting promoted in Vivint and the ones that have, would be hard pressed to prove their worth except to having connections in the leadership outside of work. In my years at Vivint, I saw several good performers leave because of this specific frustration. A lot of politics is tricked to IC level with the acquisition and leadership is blank on the company direction. We want to do one thing one day and everything else the next. All in all, I wouldn't suggest taking up a job here unless you are out of options elsewhere.
