      At Life360, you are engineering toilet paper - Senior Software Engineer Life360 Employee Review

      Pros

      Smart people, decent sized challenges, free food!

      Cons

      I joined at a time when Life360 was literally trying to "polish" the proverbial turd to ship it. There was a huge ramp in heads with a focus to sweep a ton of bugs under the carpet in the name of meeting artifical deadlines to ship (and appear competent). Find yourself advocating on behalf of the customer for things that aren't part of your manager's vision and you might as well see yourself to the door. It was absolutely one of the worst engineering experiences I've ever encountered.

      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
