      Pros

      It's nice to have daily free lunch, but that's it.

      Cons

      I’ve been here for over two years and I’ve watched the company get really bad over the last year. Morale is really low and the number of people leaving is really high with a 20% turnover rate. It's so bad that leadership is trying to hide or downplay the number of people leaving. Engineers are not valued here and they are blamed for everything that goes wrong. The company is in a constant state of fire, all hands on deck, it's very stressful and for no good reason. The CEO thinks he knows best by saying "quality first" yet he has no clue what that even means. It's a convenient, moving target that makes prioritize impossible. It took us two years to launch a redesign mostly because the company is incapable of creating a roadmap and prioritize. No deadlines, quality first, they say. So as you can imagine, projects never launch or they take two years. This behavior is not small company dynamics. This is bad management over many years. Things do not move fast here. There's lots of finger pointing and blaming. Be prepared to work every weekend fixing fires. They removed the unlimited PTO and they track your time off. Except if you are leadership who takes multiple days off every week and month.

      I take it personally when people don't have a good experience at the company, and I am sorry that happened to you. While I acknowledge we aren't perfect, I tend to ignore feedback from reviews like this that don't present a balanced view and don't come across as rational. If you are truly a current employee, you are not the type of person we want on this team. I see you frequently edit this review and it seems like you have some sort of vendetta. You know I have open office hours and offer ways to share anonymous feedback if that is too intimidating, but instead you bring up many complaints I have never heard of here on Glassdoor. (EDIT: this person deleted some particularly inflammatory parts of their review). This is unactionable - clearly I am not going to start an investigation based on a random comment here - and if you are not trolling and actually have real change you want to see you are not going about it in the right way. For those of you reading this review, yes, we have 20% annual turnover. Many of you reading this are probably good at math, so can do the algebra to see that 20% annual turnover implies 5 year average tenure, which is at least double the Silicon Valley average. If we weren't growing so quickly, I would strive to lower this, but 5 year average tenure feels pretty good when we are in a period of scaling like this.

      At Life360, you are engineering toilet paper

      Pros

      Smart people, decent sized challenges, free food!

      Cons

      I joined at a time when Life360 was literally trying to "polish" the proverbial turd to ship it. There was a huge ramp in heads with a focus to sweep a ton of bugs under the carpet in the name of meeting artifical deadlines to ship (and appear competent). Find yourself advocating on behalf of the customer for things that aren't part of your manager's vision and you might as well see yourself to the door. It was absolutely one of the worst engineering experiences I've ever encountered.

      Pros

      They'll give you nice pay and benefits, trying to keep up with other tech companies on the West Coast. That will keep people happy for a minute.

      Cons

      Lack of strategy. They acquired two companies last year and hired tons because they were planning to keep 3 independent companies. Then they changed their minds a couple of months later and started firing everyone. The two women executives (C-Level) were pushed out with the last restructure. People from "acquired companies" are treated as second rate citizens Product offers nothing more than what iPhone can do can do with FindMy + Airtags = nothing more. And then they wonder why they're only famous in the Southern part of the US (look at Apple penetration rates in the region, maybe you'll find an indirect correlation there?)

      Thank you for your message and we certainly acknowledge how much change there has been in the last year. Not only with acquiring two companies but the war in Ukraine where we had an office, as well as, the facing the same market pressure as many growth companies. We also acknowledge that there have been some leadership transitions but we are excited about the addition of our new CO, Lauren Antonoff, and that three of eight members of the exec team are women. We have tried to be as transparent as possible talking through these changes in the business. We remain excited about the ability to show the people, pets and things we love all on one map. We are kicking off our annual strategy process now and aim to have an inclusive process with multiple voices. If you are not in a position that is included in the strategy planning, please ask your department leader for updates. If you’d like more insight into the strategy planning process please consider using All Voices, https://life360.allvoices.co/, to submit an anonymous question and we can reply to you directly - your identify remains anonymous at all times.
