Pros

Decent salary and very interesting product space and ideas. A lot of potential to do something interesting if they can get out of their own way.

Cons

Horribly dysfunctional. Arrogant and naive people with a lot of attitude. Delusional belief that success is inevitable based on an extreme over inflation of the innovative aspects of the technology. Can't believe the investors continue to fund this trainwreck.

Unhealthy work environment for engineers

Pros

The majority of engineers are nice and collaborative.

Cons

Lytro is for people good at politics rather than engineering. The engineering managers have little technical knowledge in relevant area and cannot have a discussion based on math and science. They emotionally push their inconsistent and nonsensical opinions on engineers. They don't hesitate to tell a lie and harass engineers daily. The fundamental product development is getting stagnant over the last year.

A collection of delusional jokers and children

Pros

Interesting technology, lavishly wasting investor money is fun.

Cons

Never before have I been a part of a more ridiculous organization. It is hard to believe that investors would continue to prop up this trainwreck. Although there are a few knowledgeable people in their disciplines, the majority are clueless, insufficiently experienced, and arrogant.
