Pros

Lightmatter is developing cutting edge semiconductor technology. The work is challenging and, at the same time, rewarding. I like that it is located in downtown Boston—easy walking/biking commute from where I live.

Cons

The company is a growing startup so everyone is expected to work together and contribute. You must be heavily interested in your role, and you must play nice with other people.
