Vantaggi

still many good ICs, but management is turning over too fast to have any semblance of a culture. good if you are on a favored team/project by leadership, otherwise you will just be blamed whenever those teams break things

Svantaggi

leadership is enamored with AI buzzwords but doesn't really know how to adopt effectively. Eng culture has changed from performance/outcome based to one of shameless self-promotion and pishing AI slop without any individual accountability for output quality. It's becoming a race for individuals to automate so they won't be the ones fired, rather than building AI tooling together. AI tools are the future, clearly, but eng leadership is losing the plot.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review, and for your 8 years at Life360. The pace of change in our engineering organization has been fast, and we know that management continuity matters, so does clarity on AI tooling strategy. Reach out to me if you’re open to it. I'm excited to spend time talking through our strategy and hearing your concerns. I’d welcome the chance to hear more directly from you. - Justin, CTO

Vantaggi

Really enjoying my time here so far. Everyone is super friendly and there's basically zero tech bro energy which is a huge plus coming from my last company. WFH is an awesome perk and people genuinely respect work life balance. The team is also very AI forward - they encourage developers to learn AI workflows and actually give us dedicated time to do it. The culture and the people make it a great place to work.

Svantaggi

If you don't enjoy being in a fully remote/WFH environment, this might not be the best fit for you. Also, most of the devs are senior engineers or above, so if you're early in your career there's not a ton of other juniors around you.

Vantaggi

1) Being remote FT is an absolute perk, there are no plans to transition to hybrid or in-office as offices have closed or been consolidated 2) Overall, the company pays well

Svantaggi

1) Marketing leadership. Marketing has lacked true leadership for the past 4 years. There are various reasons for this situation, some of which were the product of extensive company wide reorganization and the company not prioritizing marketing. During that time amazing team members stepped up to get the work done, and for that I thank them. Currently, the team leads play favoritism; putting the chosen in a place of growth with others set out to fail. Transparency is a pipedream, a select few leads make all decisions until their plates are too full then hand off to others to bring through execution, usually lacking information or strong understanding of resources, budgets, roadblocks or bandwidth; ultimately setting them up for failure. 2) HRBP. The marketing HRBP is more interested in being liked by dept leadership than being a HR voice for the organization or there to support employees. This team member is more likely to tell you to leave or blame a “cultural fit” than to hear employee concerns 3) Data practices. If you have to ask, you know there is something wrong. 4) Growth. As mentioned with #2, those who are selected are put in positions of growth and promotion. If you are not a chosen one, be prepared to see others around you grow and your contributions never acknowledged. 5) Take a look or the org’s “Our Team” leadership, the importance of diversity speaks volumes. 6) Head to the career’s page, “Our Values” are laughable
