Future of Fitbit
So Fitbit reached out with an interesting opportunity... yay, nay, have a chat or run for the hills? Oh and trolls please keep it to yourself, or I’ll just return the favor :-)
Always valuable to talk about opportunities. Gives you practice at a minimum, can build your network slightly, may even turn into something real.
Trolololololololololooooooo Am I doing it right?
Fitbit has a monoculture and to fit in you need to absolutely worship the company and its every product. For everyone else there are personal attacks on blind to force you quit.
Btw the company doesn't like internal critics of the company on blind. If you do you will be banished
How do they banish in anonymous chat? And do you have an example? I don’t think that’s going to be healthy at all in discouraging constructive feedback.
@CwCJ71 there are many ways to banish an anonymous chat. People create polls and flood blind with personal attacks against you until you cannot stand it anymore or quit blind. Fitbit on blind sometimes look like a narcissist Nazi nation. Ruled by 1 opinion and 1 way of speaking. Examples such people on blind will keep calling you 'shit brain' or just 'shit' or even create polls to invite other folks to group attack you on blind. It's a pathetic culture at least and poisonous in nature.
*yay, nay, have a chat, or run away
FB to FIT. Why?
Don't. The future is foggy for Fitbit. Most good people have left or leaving. If you are looking for a smaller place than FB, there are tons of better options out there.
Like Netflix!
Nay. Not a place for top talent. Averse to growing up and adopting larger company practices. Weak senior management. People are bailing after their bonus payouts which are today. I’ve been here over a year and it’s been painful. Work / life is myth for lots of us
WLB is pretty solid in software, 36-40 hour weeks generally. Average talent isn’t FB level, but I still learn things from my coworkers, and my career continues to grow. CTO is awesome, bit lukewarm on the other leadership at the moment though
Have a chat. Why not?
