      Pros

      Decent benefits, free lunch, nice people

      Cons

      Way to much bureaucracy, when you develop a change you have to get approval from business, manager, a code review, a DBA, a security admin, a QA, a devops, and sometimes other managers. Which makes it very frustrating, you keep developing features that never make it to production because getting that many people in line is not easy, and management keeps bringing projects with higher priority, therefore things "fall... through the cracks"... There is also lots of tech debt but since it is so hard to get everyone in line and business doesn't care as long as the developer can keep cleaning up the issues via production support then it is not important for them, which makes it very frustrating for the developer. Zero access to any environment, not even development, you have to chase a devops admin to set every single item for you, and since they are blasted with work from all over the company, then a lot of times things are not done correctly and leave you wondering what went wrong... Very difficult to work or get things done when you can't see what is going on behind the scenes. At least they should stop being jail keepers and let developers access the dev environment.

      Advice to Management

      Get rid of the red tape / bureaucracy (All the approvals issue). Give full access to the dev environments to the developers for them to configure with perhaps devops help when needed, but don't make devops just jail keepers.

      I worked at Vivint Smart Home part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Free lunch voucher for every 8 hours worked but they don't tell you the voucher will be taxed until you are in training.

      Cons

      Open 24/7; you will have to work weekends and holidays. Generally afternoon and evening shifts are available. The morning shifts are hard to come by.

      Advice to Management

      Be more upfront about what the training/position entails. It sounds like a lovely job until you start the training then the horse whipping begins.
