"Great company that is continuing to evolve"May 5, 2022
★★★★★

Current Employee - Engineering Manager

I have been working at SmartThings full-time for less than a year

Pros

* Great management * Very bright co-workers * Remote work * Flexible work schedules * Competitive salaries * Organization that continues to evolve to keep up with latest technologies * Support... from a parent company - ensures overall stability * Excellent resources for support - there are always other employees who are willing to help out to answer questions * Great benefits

Cons

* You have to be willing to be flexible and self-motivated * No kitchen snacks as a remote employee! However, there is a monthly budget for fun team activities. * Occasional late night meetings... with overseas counterparts

Advice to Management

Keep making the hard decisions to ensure we continue being able to work on cutting edge technologies.
