Pros

Great culture. People are open-minded. Lots of opportunities.

Cons

Performance reviews take a lot of time and effort. It's the worst part of working here.

Advice to Management

Make better products! As an employee, I'm disappointed with the quality of products at Nest. Google seems to want to release lots of products rather than focus on a few of them and make them spectacular. My happiness is partly tied to the pride in our products.
