Pros

Exceptional talent Friendly people Lots of socials Budget to attend conferences Hybrid working module

Cons

Lack of appreciation: The Series B announcement reflected a disconnect; no acknowledgment of the team's efforts. Unreasonable expectations: Long nights, weekends, and even PTO are treated as fair game for work. Unclear mission: The company lacks a coherent and inspiring vision, there appears to be a divide in the mission within LT. Poor communication: Information is siloed or inconsistently shared. (Series B announcement was not shared to entire company, rather to US team) Below market compensation: The workload far exceeds what the pay justifies. Culture: The environment can feel toxic at times; even anonymous feedback is viewed with suspicion. Nepotism in advancement: Career growth heavily favors those with prior connections to leadership.

Pros

Team: Amazingly talent dense organisation. I ask people about their background and they're like oh I grew up in a village in Portugal then got a scholarship to MIT then did my PhD at CalTech and joined JPL and now I'm a PhysicsX... wow. Purpose: PhysicsX is using AI to help address some of the biggest industrial challenges in the world around energy, decarbonisation, aerospace and defence and so on - feels good to be doing something meaningful with tech and AI not creating slop videos or whatever. Travel: great opportunities to travel for customer work and other occasions (we all got together in London before Christmas) Comp: solid salaries, apparently more of a focus on bonuses going forward which is great, and if it works out the equity should be meaningful - fingers crossed.

Cons

Scaling: Like any company that's growing this fast it's surfing the line of chaos, and kind of back filling on things like processes. New leadership coming in like Chief Operating Officer, Chief People Officer and so on hopefully help us catch up with ourselves. But not too much bureaucracy please! Work life balance: it's intense. You learn a tonne, you get things done fast, it's great energy - but it's NOT a nine to five for sure.
