Pros

As a smaller company, there are a lot of opportunity to do and learn all aspects of the business. I’ve been able to do design, prototype, manufacturing, and project management work. The culture with your coworkers is great. I trust leadership and get to talk to them on a regular basis whereas in a larger company a lot of these pros would not be possible. I genuinely feel grateful to work here and have yet to meet anyone who works at a cooler company

Cons

As a smaller company and in a relatively new technology (AR), there are times where there is not a clear direction or answer to problems that arise so you can get stuck. As long as you are able to adapt to this you are golden

Pros

Healthcare benefits are paid for. Once upon a time, there were a lot of snacks and team culture

Cons

Poor and inexperienced leaders. The company lost a lot of great talent when the engineers realized this was a party company with a checkbook for extravagant events and failed clothing lines to celebrate the CEO. The leaders have not provided clear direction for the tech development, and their financial planning has led to mass layoffs as a result of their "throw money at the problem" approach. Rumor is they're making people sign NDA to receive severance...another story of a mismanaged startup.
