Pros

The company is an exciting place to work in that it is charting out new territory in the world of imaging and video. What Lytro is working on for VR and cinema is very cool/compelling. Eng team is very focused and heads-down to pull things off. Jason is great leader - strong understanding of tech and business issues and inspiring motivator. He has been around the block a few times and it shows in his creativity and composure. Talented engineering team, and good collaboration among execs and working teams. Good working environment.

Cons

The tech is powerful, but challenging to work with. Lytro understands it better than any other company and is making great progress, but you need to be comfortable with a place where it's not simply an execution play on business side.

Pros

One of the smartest places I have ever worked. The brains on this team are truly world class. Ground breaking technology doesn't always mean clear direction but if you like creating something new, this is a good place.

Cons

Revolutionary product means some evolutionary changes, so if you don't like change or need a very exact workplace...
