Life360 Reviews

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 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.
