Pros

Product sounds exciting. Start up environment. Opportunity to learn about many aspects of an IOT, product. High compensation.

Cons

Terrible company culture. Constant politics and back stabbing in the upper management. Most managers are focused on power games, and the employees are the last in the priority list. Long hours for engineers, I've witnessed many people who had to work nights and days with no sleep and getting sick just because of some demo. Unlimited PTO means, you cannot take any long vacations. The company is not producing anything except for demos, prototypes and headlines like " imagine one day this, image one day that", "DAQRI is revolutionizing the world of AR". It's been so many years and the company hasn't sold a single product to customers. Many layoffs in the recent years. Offices are closing. Bottom line: If you like working solo, creating prototypes and having the "start up" experience, go for it.

Pros

It's a great place to work for its strong research and development support. The company is in relatively smaller scale compare to their industry competitor; which indicates a lot of opportunities and challenges to offer.

Cons

The reality of the market is harsh to any innovate company in AR devices field, the business forecast is nowhere close to ramping up in the near future.
