Pros

They'll give you nice pay and benefits, trying to keep up with other tech companies on the West Coast. That will keep people happy for a minute.

Cons

Lack of strategy. They acquired two companies last year and hired tons because they were planning to keep 3 independent companies. Then they changed their minds a couple of months later and started firing everyone. The two women executives (C-Level) were pushed out with the last restructure. People from "acquired companies" are treated as second rate citizens Product offers nothing more than what iPhone can do can do with FindMy + Airtags = nothing more. And then they wonder why they're only famous in the Southern part of the US (look at Apple penetration rates in the region, maybe you'll find an indirect correlation there?)

Thank you for your message and we certainly acknowledge how much change there has been in the last year. Not only with acquiring two companies but the war in Ukraine where we had an office, as well as, the facing the same market pressure as many growth companies. We also acknowledge that there have been some leadership transitions but we are excited about the addition of our new CO, Lauren Antonoff, and that three of eight members of the exec team are women. We have tried to be as transparent as possible talking through these changes in the business. We remain excited about the ability to show the people, pets and things we love all on one map. We are kicking off our annual strategy process now and aim to have an inclusive process with multiple voices. If you are not in a position that is included in the strategy planning, please ask your department leader for updates. If you’d like more insight into the strategy planning process please consider using All Voices, https://life360.allvoices.co/, to submit an anonymous question and we can reply to you directly - your identify remains anonymous at all times.

Pros

Really enjoying my time here so far. Everyone is super friendly and there's basically zero tech bro energy which is a huge plus coming from my last company. WFH is an awesome perk and people genuinely respect work life balance. The team is also very AI forward - they encourage developers to learn AI workflows and actually give us dedicated time to do it. The culture and the people make it a great place to work.

Cons

If you don't enjoy being in a fully remote/WFH environment, this might not be the best fit for you. Also, most of the devs are senior engineers or above, so if you're early in your career there's not a ton of other juniors around you.

Pros

still many good ICs, but management is turning over too fast to have any semblance of a culture. good if you are on a favored team/project by leadership, otherwise you will just be blamed whenever those teams break things

Cons

leadership is enamored with AI buzzwords but doesn't really know how to adopt effectively. Eng culture has changed from performance/outcome based to one of shameless self-promotion and pishing AI slop without any individual accountability for output quality. It's becoming a race for individuals to automate so they won't be the ones fired, rather than building AI tooling together. AI tools are the future, clearly, but eng leadership is losing the plot.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review, and for your 8 years at Life360. The pace of change in our engineering organization has been fast, and we know that management continuity matters, so does clarity on AI tooling strategy. Reach out to me if you’re open to it. I'm excited to spend time talking through our strategy and hearing your concerns. I’d welcome the chance to hear more directly from you. - Justin, CTO
