Pebble's software was second to none. They built an entire operating system and app store, to run on microcontrollers! Multiple orders of magnitude less RAM and power consumption than Android or Apple watches, but the user experience was excellent and the app store had tons of stuff in it.
I once interviewed a candidate who came from Pebble. He had the most impressive interview performance of any candidate I've ever interviewed.

- modeless 4y agoNot much to tell. He solved my interview problems super quickly and then we had a chat about his experience which impressed me a lot. This was many years ago (as Pebble was dying) so I don't remember the details of the conversation. He didn't accept our offer, for visa related reasons if I recall correctly, so unfortunately I didn't get to work with him. Obviously the variance on interview performance is high, and my typical interview questions are not super hard or anything, so it doesn't necessarily mean that much. But I'm confident that he was a very good engineer that I would have liked to work with.
