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 Also, because the beaucratic nature of their agile methods are a bit outdated, a lot more time is required to do basic work, which can make it difficult to have an ideal output within a reasonable time frame, so when you have a lot to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]

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.
