I worked at RM for almost 3 years as a senior engineer, leaving just before the first of the two recent layoff rounds. I was with them from about 150 employees up through 600.

It was so heartbreaking to build such genuinely cool products with absolutely brilliant, fantastic, driven engineers alongside me, only to see the culture fall through the floor and management just fail everyone, over and over again, in what I can only describe as a malicious way. One of the few places I worked where literally everyone was so smart that I just wanted to listen and learn, and it definitely pushed me forward as an engineer. And just great people. We cared about what we did, we all read the subreddit and HN posts, and really wanted to make something good.

I still have my prototype Paper Pro, which they let me keep since I left post - launch, but it's bittersweet and I don't use it anymore.
