Pros

If you have a good manager, working at LogMeIn is quite good. Colleagues are smart and friendly and there are a lot of learning opportunities.

Cons

If you are an engineer do not expect to make a career at LogMeIn. Engineers are not valued. They are just replaceable, expendable resources. On the other hand, if you are a manager all your bad deeds are forgiven. You can abuse your power, care about nothing but your own advancement, even commit serious misdeeds against your people, you are forgiven or promoted by LogMeIn. HR knows this and looks away. They always protect the person with more power. They do no justice. They do what they believe the best interest of LogMeIn is, but they are wrong. Managers are not nominated by competence but based on how well they can position themselves. They are not tested in any way if they are fit for the role. They may be narcissistic careerists, LogMeIn accepts them as managers. Managers are sent to trainings but it does not matter because their core personality will not change. Not all managers are like that. There are really good managers here. But if you are not careful your manager makes your life miserable and LogMeIn will not help you. And the corrupt managers are still at LogMeIn making a career with HR's help and approval. LogMeIn could be a great place to work without all the bureaucracy and corruption.

Thank you for your review. LogMeIn invests a lot in people manager training and coaching both on global, as well as, Hungary level because it is true, employee engagement is significantly affected by what type of managers there are in an organization. It is also true, that becoming an effective, authentic and credible people manager is a complex and long journey not everybody completes. Nevertheless, integrity is crucial for us, so in case you encounter any instances of corruption, please reach out to me personally.

Pros

Truly flexible work schedule. They don't log hours and they have unlimited vacation. I can't emphasize how important this is. RRSP matching 8% and stock option lowest buyin 15% High potential to be amazing products [unified telecommunications] Good pay and high potential for mobility [because they release products often enough to make a case for value for promotion.]

Cons

They're super microsoft and java oriented. A lot of the devs wants higher technologies, but the majority of senior development is sorta stuck in the past. Expect to see extremely verbose code, and over-engineered dev ops. Also, because the beaucratic nature of their agile methods are a bit outdated, a lot more time is required to do basic work, which can make it difficult to have an ideal output within a reasonable time frame, so when you have a lot to do, expect to have to work more than 40 hours to achieve it. [BUT management is friendly and will work with ppl to maintain work life balance]
