  • They didn't lose. They built an overpriced thermostat that no one needed and got bought by Google for millions. My nest friends bought houses and transfered to Google a few months ago. A huge win in my book.

  • Maybe Tony was just way too Apple to make it at Google.

    Nest is a sinking ship and Tony Fadell is the iceberg.

    100% worst leadership and executive skills in the entire Bay Area. If he excels at anything, it is getting piggyback rides on the talented engineers who have carried his career by taking credit for their work. Nest hasn't delivered anything of note in so long because he has finally run out of people to throw under the bus for failing to keep up with his 6-day-work-weeks. He just resigned from Google, finally, so we could see Nest come back, but it will be unlikely.

    Yes they did lose. Lot of core engineers moved to google - overall every such company that job market google - it will be hard to survive independently as most of the engineers would aim to get into mothership and not care about the company they are in.
