Pros: I've worked as a Software Engineer here for a couple of years. The team itself is solid, and we tackle interesting challenges in IoT security. It's cool being part of a growing startup, and the remote work flexibility is decent.
Cons: Leadership can be pretty disconnected from day-to-day engineering work. There's not always clear direction from the top, which makes project planning tough. It often feels like management changes course too much without input.
Advice to Management: Listen more to the engineering teams. Get more involved in project details and provide clearer strategic guidance. This would really help with overall execution and morale in the San Mateo office and for remote employees.
