Reviews about "nest"
Return to all Reviews- 1.0Jan 31, 2016MarketingFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsPalo Alto, CA
Pros
- Great resume builder - Nest is leading in the connected home space - Good products - Incredibly smart and passionate people working on the business (that are not senior management) - The people in middle management and execution are very collaborative
Cons
- 100% internally focused - don't think about the consumer when developing marketing plans, only worry about what the CEO and other Google leadership cares about - Fear based leadership - Meetings, meetings, meetings, meetings and many times, meetings about other meetings - Sr. Leadership are incredibly insecure and not trusting of their employees - Ego driven culture at the top, not open to collaboration or any different points of view - Company culture is severely lacking - though, they are trying to improve this - Overall the senior leadership was hired when Nest was a tiny Silicon Valley start up - the leadership they have in place now is not capable of evolving it into the highly functional, creative marketing team it needs to be. - Commute from SF to Palo Alto - they highly discourage working from the city (or even from the Google SF office) - I witnessed a member of senior leadership ask another member of senior leadership to get their team to write positive Glass Door reviews - so clearly they know that there is an issue with company morale.

Pros
Great CEO. Tony is a straight shooter and wears his emotions on his sleeve. His vision, passion and conviction is second to none. This last year we launched three great products in the US that we are all very proud of. Check out the Amazon ratings!
Cons
Culture at Nest is not for everyone. People are all high achievers/team players and expect the same out of their peers. We all care about each other and ultimately the focus is on the end product and customer experience. If you want to join to simply follow and enjoy the show this place might not be the place for you. This is really not a con, more about some insight on work environment.
