Fitbit is useful if you get mu---red so they can track possible distances of where you were and try to pin down suspects. I had a fitbit but only used it a few times and stopped. I don't know where it is and don't care.
- ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@gsr+1oCs3NNS actually things are not better. The positions they have it open is took over the gap because people left the division after 6 months of the layoff. So nobody wants to work there except unemployed people
If they are hiring, maybe things are better. Or maybe someone wants more head count.
I worked at Fitbit and you will see the following:
- It is a mess
- It is toxic
- The leadership never built any real product before and the ones they built got cancelled
- It is a daily political game
- People bad mouth each other
- Your work will not be appreciated.
If you find a job on any other division, go for it. Fitbit, stay away. I do not think they will last that long.
fitbit is one of the worst division at google. Very toxic and highly political. Run!
