Pros

-Typical cushy startup perks: free meals, unlimited vacation, field trips, solid benefits, and the like. -Even after the fact, the personal and professional network that came out of this place is incredibly strong.

Cons

-Power-grabbing, duplicitous, sexist middle management belong in another place and time. They're currently sitting pretty after laying off anyone who challenged them, but will find themselves unable to operate outside of the bubble they've created once it no longer exists. -As evidenced by the "reviews" they've written here, upper management are clueless kids who've gotten in way over their heads and can't think of anything better to do than dismiss and insult their former employees for sharing their real experiences.

Pros

I worked at leeo for three years in product development during the IoT boom. It was fast paced and a lot of fun. We gotta chance to make some cool tech and designs.

Cons

There was lots of pressure. Market conditions hurt us.

Pros

*Excellent colleagues and workplace culture; some of the most talented and brightest people I've ever been around. * Opportunity to work with the designer behind Beats by Dr. Dre, the Co-Founder of Guitar Hero, whose accomplishments and accolades speak for themselves and has earned them reputations as some of the best in their respective industries. *Successful company - entering retail and enterprise partnerships, improving digital traction, depth of pipeline, etc.* Investors and founders are some of the most well-connected individuals I have ever come across; if I'd ever wanted a personal or professional reference, I can count on these guys! *Great workplace culture, vacation policy, benefits and food.

Cons

*Recent layoffs were tough on everyone, but made overall sense in light of the refined company focus and desire to extend the company's runway. *Too much emphasis on credentials, pedigree - I don't want to hear about another person who went to Stanford, Tsinghua, who has his/her PhD, who knows who, etc. *Overhired ahead of product adoption - staffed up a large team before the product even entered significant-scale retail channels.
