Pros

- Perks: The company has great perks. Very generous PTO, great health insurance and good dental vision. - Work/Life Balance: Most people leave the office at a very normal hour and you aren't expected to work until 8/9 pm. - WFH: Depending on your boss, most people are allowed to WFH regularly which is a nice benefit (and good cause it helps you test out our product regularly) - People: Most of the people are good to work with. Some teams are more cohesive and collaborative than others though

Cons

- Management: The team is lost on what to do with the company. From lack of clear strategy to constant change in management, there is a lot of chaos and no direction - Competition: With companies like Zoom, BlueJeans, Google, Skype and Slack all moving into the space, there is no hope for the cloud/app side. The hardware seems to be the main focus now - Innovation: There is no innovation. Just constantly catching up to the competitors that are years ahead - Constant layoffs: The company has had multiple rounds of large-scale layoffs over the years and teams are constantly reshuffled. There is little stability in who you work with sometimes. - Mentorship: There is none at the company. If you are looking to learn and grow, don't go to Lifesize
