TL;DR: If you are looking for modern tech stacks, up-to-date development practices, innovative products or strong engineering culture steer away from this company. The pay is mediocre at best, equity is losing its value rapidly, just look at the charts.
LogMeIn used to be holding monopoly in the remote access space due to its proprietary technology, which was the main factor driving its growth in the early years. Later LogMeIn has pivoted toward UCaaS and completely dropped the ball in a highly competitive market. After failing to compete in UCaaS, the growth stunted and company has resorted to acquisitions instead of trying to innovate and deliver unique products. The lack of innovation, terrible acquisitions (Zamurai, LastPass, NanoRep, NoPassword just to name a few) and the GetGo merger has created a culture of constant power struggles and distrust, which translated into commercial failure and many talented people leaving the company at the same time. Without an exception all products have reached a status of legacy hell, further hindering the product development teams’ chance at catching up with the competition.
Tasks and initiatives are handed down to development teams from higher ups and the autonomy is highly limited due to the extremely hierarchical setup of the organization. Making the day-to-day work feel like a never ending conveyor belt of JIRA tasks.
There is no established engineering culture inside the company, each team is for their own, there are no engineering principles or values that could help the teams or give them authority to try to fix issues around tech debt, automation and modernizing the tech stacks.
Some of the senior management based in US are extremely unprofessional and incompetent, frequently treating the Hungarian teams as second-class citizens inside LogMeIn.
