Owlet Baby Care

It was challenging work and a lot of fun working on building out a system to do what it was intended to do.  I learned a great deal about IoT platforms and data science while I was there, I learned about the other parts of an ETL pipeline.

Management was probably the only problem I had, and it was really all of the dishonesty surrounding the point when I was let go along with several others, we weren't given any warning and they had gone through a lot of trouble merely a few weeks before that to assure everyone that they put people on an improvement track before letting anyone go.  Clearly that is utterly false.

The culture was fun, everyone was great friends and we had free weekly company lunches, which honestly they should have canceled that and the food in the break room first before resorting to letting people go when they ran into financial difficulties.

The hardest part of my job was probably that I kept getting assigned huge projects and had to split them up, but because of being assigned all of that it was often hard to see progress on my work.

The most enjoyable part of my job was the fact that I got to work with a lot of great people, and advancing technology, including the Python pipeline integration with the Google suite of tools.

This place has great intentions, but actions do speak louder than words. The customer base for this company is far more complex than any other. I don't know that it was understood the amount of compassion and concern for the customer is something that any hire would need to have. In the end, it felt that we were just a head count. The people are great as individuals but as a company, I feel like there was and is so much disconnect from one department to the next. The culture they claim to have is not how it is, at least in the customer service department. The hardest part of the job, was the politics. The best part of the job were the parents I worked with on a daily basis. I will miss the parents and babies the most.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hostile work environment with a awesome mission.  All most all leaders have no business leading a team.  Knee jerk reactions and little collaboration between teams.  I hate to see a company that could do so much good falter like this.  I really don't see them lasting out the year

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Changes with out a thought process.  No consistency. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is no culture.  You are siloed into your own teams and there is not team building at all.

The life saving product we make is unquestionable. The individual team members are very passionate at what they do. While the owners are very intelligent and also passionate, their business acumen is low which leads to poor decisions and then even worse recovery plans. No meeting should be a place where executives stab others in the back. Executive communication is poor and the VP of Products needs to practice what they preach.
The owner ship hires the right people, but then does not listen to them due to their arrogance and their believe that force of will can make everything happen.

Owlet loves employees that run around with their hair on fire. 

The calm under pressure, steady consistent delivery is viewed as apathetic and not committed.  The CEO is only 20 something and changes strategy almost monthly. Most employees pretend to be onboard with the changes but are worn out from all the whiplash. Truth is the Sock product is too expensive for mass adoption

Great culture and a fun place to work at. Very good benefits and great growth. Very good vision and mission. Sometimes they overextend themselves but the products and the vision are great.

This job was very good to experience. The managers and supervisors were helpful and good to work with. I gained wonderful experience at this call center. I experienced emails and chat work which was different, but good. I paid off to help worrysome mothers that had the owlet device.

They are going through a lot of growing pains and the management isn't really handling it well.  There were a lot of empty promises and they lack vision of the products and services.

Great company, can work remotely or in the office. Great support from peers and management. Was laid off but what can you do? I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Owlet Baby Care.

They try hard to push a certain culture on their employees in meetings, but do not back it up when it comes down to it. Needs some work and experienced management.
