    Such a GREAT experience!

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Where to begin... The hiring process was so well orchestrated and not only help the hiring manager figure out if I was the right fit for them, it helped me figure out that GoPro was the right fit for me, and that this was a company I would love to be a part of. Since my onboarding, the energy and support hasn't stopped, and the culture is THE BEST I've ever experienced... GoPro not only talks the talk, they live it every day.

    Cons

    There truly isn't anything I can think of.

    Great place to work

    Dec 13, 2022 - Workplace Operations Specialist 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Hands down, the people. I have never worked for a company where I genuinely like each person I work and interact with. Also, the tech and our products are amazing. The team is very collaborative and supportive as well.

    Cons

    Remote first is one of the the company mottos, so I don't get to see as many people as I would like to.

    Great experience so far!

    Pros

    Everyone is professional, no drama. Everyone seems like they just want to build great cameras. Healthcare is excellent compared to other companies of this size. Benefits in general are pretty decent.

    Cons

    Communication has been a little tricky, specifically cross-team/cross-country. That's the only issue I have found so far.

    Great company for remote work

    Feb 3, 2023 - Staff Software Engineer in San Diego, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Benefits and culture are the best. They are remote first now as well for most positions.

    Cons

    The company vision is never clear and makes the company feel less relevant and more volatile. The software engineering side of the house isn't mature compared to other places of the same age.

    Laid off after only a couple months of being hired

    Dec 6, 2022 - Anonymous Employee in Denver, CO
    Recommend
    CEO Approval

    Pros

    Not recommended for people to join. Had a competitive comp while it lasted.

    Cons

    To keep confidentiality and anonymity, I was let go abruptly only after 2 months of minimal training (no PIP/anything similar). I would not recommend this company to anyone. When the new HERO3 camera line released, stocks were down. The company is lacking innovation and is stuck in the early 2000s with their gopro cameras. Find a stable and profitable company with an innovative product
