Pros
Camera is better than most know. Life work balance is great. Employees are encouraged to take 3 hours on Thurs and use camera for surfing, etc.
Cons
Innovation can be cut short by yearly release cycle.

Pros
Work/Life Balance. People. Culture. Benefits. Camera.
Cons
Lack of accountability at the middle management and above level.
Advice to Management
Make employees accountable for their actions. If what they are doing doesn't look right and they are not performing and always have excuses, don't give them a promotion. Peers know and it causes divisiveness and good people leave.

Pros
The products are great. There are many smart, motivated people working there. The office view and snacks also great.
Cons
Some very poor decisions are made at the top. Employee attrition, both voluntary and involuntary, created longer hours and much more work for employees who were already spread thin. Internal processes could also be chaotic at times.

Pros
A company that is something to be desired
Cons
Welcome to the good old boy club. Very mediocre company that doesn’t sit well in compensatory salaries once you get there. Example little increases unless you are the teachers pet. Bring your apples!

Pros
...then in 2015-16 the ship tipped over and lots of thing spilled out.
Cons
• Way too much bro-culture • Zero promotion from within • Managers who were oblivious to anything but their own egos • Employee turnover churn was damaging to personnel morale • Greed at the top level nearly destroyed the company • 2016 stock wipeout = game over for many workers who had invested
Advice to Management
Be good to the quiet and patient people who work hard to keep GoPro afloat. Make amends to the people who were cast out or left because no one over there would listen to reason. Stop hiring jackasses with zero people skills to run large creative departments. GoPro's turnaround plan needs to run deeper than coming up with new ways to describe itself.
