None so far, though if I had to pick something it would be the challenges of keeping up in such a fast growing business.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Fitbit full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
1. Over the past few months, we have all experienced a change in how we work, where we work from and how we manage our personal lives, all while trying to deliver the same. I appreciate that Fitbit made me feel safe and showed a real interest in offering what I need to succeed in this new environment of WFH. Some examples would be the reimbursement we get for internet services, the budget for purchasing ergonomic furniture, etc. 2. You get to work with really smart and passionate people
Cons
The functions outside engineering don't have too many career opportunities, especially for lateral moves.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Fitbit full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great snacks, fun work environment, and happy hour every Friday. Benefits are just alright. A great career starter for recent college grads to build their resume.
Cons
Lack of guidance from management for career growth. If you have an interest in a different role, good luck talking to your manager about making the switch. Also lots of politics at work.
