- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good management,good work life balance
Cons
don't have anything to share

Pros
Great perks/benefits from being in the Google family. Nest has a smaller company feel and is filled with great people. Work life is similar to many other Silicon Valley companies.
Cons
The normal negatives of a Silicon Valley job-- always more work on your plate than there's time for in a reasonable work week.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good environment, they like each other.
Cons
COVID affected growth and therefore my position.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Capable experienced team and we'll resources projects
Cons
Occasional office politics and scaling challenges
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The pros were you get to learn a lot about home security and then understand how the devices all have a purpose. The troubleshooting was fun from time to time, but lot of non-tech savvy owners that are frustrated with the product.
Cons
The downside was not being able to advance as much as you would like and not really being recognized as a Google employee even though Nest is owned by them.
