Apple to Fitbit? Don't. Had a bunch of folks who left to Apple and they like it there.

Depends on which role but overall Iā€™d say the company is at a low point and trending down. People are intelligent and collaborative and the best part about working here. Attrition is high however due to weak upper management and indecisive leadership. I would say morale is pretty low. Definitely feels like a sinking ship. I wouldnā€™t recommend for a software role.

Nor hardware for similar reasons.

Good summary

The IT department is just a revolving door

The only positive thing about working at fitbit is the work life balance. If it wasnā€™t for the wlb, Iā€™d be out

Do you mean itā€™s a 9 to 5 kind of grind? Or can you work from home?

Think Titanic and the band is playing while it's going down.

People are super smart and super nice. I like working here, but I would not jump ship from Apple. Times are tough here. But you could possibly uses that as an advantage to get higher pay if you're smart

Fitbit Yonkers Jul 25, 2018

Fitbit paying more than Apple? Lol

Fitbit brnP Jul 25, 2018

Only if you're good ;)

Definitely consider it - not all FANG companies are shiny on the inside. I personally love Fitbit
