Pros

I have been at Life360 for over five years. Here are some thoughts.

  • The work is incredibly impactful. Hearing stories from our users about how we helped them with crash detection is very rewarding, and you can't get that at very many other places. On a given day, Life360 detects and responds to over 100 real customer auto crashes every day. I feel very proud about that when I talk to friends and family. Can you say that about your current role?
  • Strong strategy and vision. With excellent Engineering leadership and the recent acquisition of Tile and Jiobit, Life360 is poised to be a major player in the family safety space. We're sailing on a rising tide that seems to get bigger each year.
  • Massive scale and interesting tech. Our servers handle something like 10 billion API requests every day, and we have best-in-class location and driving technology on iOS and Android platforms. It's hard. But this is why we look for the best engineers to join our team and take us to the next level of scale.
Cons
  • As others have mentioned, the dynamism and changes that the company has gone through this year are real. The vision is strong (Facebook for Families), and the strategy is sound, but there have been a lot of direction shifts. This can wear on the team. That said, we are moving in the right direction, and things are starting to feel more stable and are poised for some substantial growth opportunities in the coming year.
