Nest is in shambles

CEO seems like such a prick.

Start flapping your guns Tony when you release more than just a single overpriced thermostat in 5 years with 1200 employees and an unlimited budget.

According to Albergotti, more than half of the 100 Dropcam employees Nest hired when it acquired the company two years ago have left. In this kind of situation, most CEOs would be diplomatic. Not Fadell. "A lot of the employees were not as good as we hoped," Fadell told Albergotti in an interview.

Fadell's comments infuriated Greg Duffy, a Dropcam co-founder who left Nest in 2015. In a scathing Medium post, he argued that half his team had left Nest because "they felt their ability to build great products being totally crushed."

"All of us have worked at big companies before, where it is harder to move fast," Duffy wrote. "But this is something different, as evidenced by the continued lack of output from the currently 1200-person team and its virtually unlimited budget."

And lol after 5 years of people asking them to put the current temp in the middle of the thermostat screen they still haven't.
