Pros

Active, healthy, friendly culture. Open floor plan and open kitchen with great sense of community. Some of the smartest + kindest people I've ever worked with. I never paid much mind to Glassdoor reviews, but I've noticed lately that all the dead weight that finally got cleaned out has clearly had nothing better to do with their time than write snarky reviews. So here I am to tell you it's really not that bad. Come work here! The good news is all those crummy people don't work here anymore. The rest of us are too busy changing the world to log onto Glassdoor hunting for jobs all day. What we're doing is really hard and the people I work with every day are so effing cool. Do we get frustrated? Of course. Do we struggle? Yup. Are we making something that matters? 100%. If you want to go build video games all day, this isn't the place for you. If you want to work in heavily bureaucratic offices where you can affect no change because how things are done are already set in stone, definitely not the right company. But if you can handle the responsibility of driving progress and momentum yourself without having to be told to do it, you'll be able to do so here. And I hope you do.

Cons

It's an emerging technology in a competitive marketplace. We're a little fish in a big pond and no matter how well we do, it is going to be make-or-break for a while. Welcome to a startup. We aren't Google, we aren't Facebook. But that's why it's fun. The tech scene can attract some less than stellar people, and we do our best to weed them out. Sometimes we fail and the entitlement comes rolling in. [See reviews below.]

Pros

DAQRI is a rare opportunity to work at a company that is one of a select few literally defining the future of a new technology wave. AR will be pervasive across markets, use cases, and people faster than most can imagine - much like the internet and smart phones progressed from interesting ideas to defining the way that humans access and interpret information inside of a decade. DAQRI will prove to be one of the cornerstones of the companies defining this technology, and living it day to day is interesting and fulfilling. The company itself is packed with massive amounts of technical and managerial talent, perspectives coming from tech giants and startups alike. Financial backing is without question and the overall direction of the company is clear albeit evolving with the market as expected. - Management talent: Top tier, and key additions arriving regularly - Market opportunity: Unbounded and large from the start - Culture: Dynamic, evolving, and a focus of management, but always a work in progress - The work: Engaging

Cons

The biggest challenge that we face is the need to be agile. We are bringing capabilities to markets that as of yet have not existed, and with that comes a requirement to listen a bit closer, move a bit faster, and work a lot smarter. This can be too dynamic for some, but if you seek an opportunity to rattle the known technology world and be part of something that will change the way we envision compute - then DAQRI is definitely your place.

Pros

Daqri is a Great Company to work for. Unlimited PTO, Friendly Atmosphere, Great Benefits. Unlimited Healthy food in the kitchen. I was proud to work for Brian Mullins. Brian is highly intelligent and represents Daqri Very Well.

Cons

Lay off's without any warning. Investors backing out and cost reduction always goes to employees without any consideration to other ways to cut cost. Employees travel at high expense. Never using Motel 6, always using a high priced Hilton instead.
