Pros

I was working in the LastPass engineering team, and everyone was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. There are challenges of course, but everyone is aware of them and works toward solving them. The work environment is very relaxed with the usual perks of an American IT company: free fruits and soft drinks, weekly breakfast, monthly lunch, monthly drinking event (free 🍺), XBox, table tennis etc.

Cons

Business decisions are made based on business reasons (e.g. to sunset or not a product) which is sometimes hard to accept as an engineer.

We appreciate your positive feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the LogMeIn culture and your time spent working on LastPass. While we are always reevaluating our product strategy to keep up with the changing needs of our customers of today, we consider it very important to understand these business reasons and we try to make sure to explain them to our employees.

Pros

- Great colleagues, great team members. - Lots of benefits. - Travels. - Trainings.

Cons

- Citrix merger: all employees got 2-3x more products on their hands for the same money and time. Everyone is exhausted. - Legacy products: hell. No vision, no nothing. They see them as cash cows. - Everyone is thinking: a) I'll wait for the stocks to kick in then go somewhere else b) I'll don't wait for the stocks, because I get more money per month than here with the stocks combined. c) I'll wait until everything collapses. - Opinions can get you fired. - No career opportunities. - Company growth is a lie: numbers are better, mood is way worse, long term vision doesn't exist or not transparent. - No transparency about decisions. We don't know what we will work on the next few months. - RSUs are not sexy anymore as they drop in value. - No exit interview for leavers. - Lot of Senior+ colleagues leave, and they hire juniors to their place. As we see they don't want to retain employees anymore. - Salary is mediocore at best. Know some people who went with +50% for other companies.

It’s unfortunate to hear your perspective of your time at LogMeIn. We strongly believe in diversity and that everyone’s opinion matter. We welcome constructive feedback and our decisions are preceded by professional, collaborative discussions. This is one of the most frequent positive feedback we receive from our new joiners in Hungary. It is also useful to consider that year-to-date, in Hungary, we have promoted approximately 14% of our employees and have additionally moved 6% internally within the organization, including international relocation. We understand that employee interests change, colleagues develop their professional skills and competencies. Thus we also understand that career development is one of the major engagement factors for our colleagues. We keep this as a priority on our people agenda. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

It’s great to hear how much our Budapest employees love working with their colleagues. We think the connections people make at LogMeIn are fantastic! We have a lot of hiring to do in Budapest, so we will share your referral idea with the recruitment team and keep building a great experience for you and your colleagues.
