Pros

- Exciting projects at a fast growing company - Chance to design in VR, with more interactions than mobile/web - Great culture, everyone mostly super friendly and fun

Cons

- Way too much politics & bureaucracy - Quite a few strong personalities with 'my way or the highway' mentality - Questionable decisions from 'senior' management - Disconnect between company vision and troops in the trenches (devs, designers etc.) - Too many squads and PMs - Compensation not great

Pros

FitXR is one of the most collaborative and engaging places I’ve worked. The organization attracts highly motivated people who take pride in what they do and genuinely want to help each other succeed. It’s a friendly, open culture where ideas flow easily and cross-team collaboration is the norm, not the exception. The company truly embraces an AI-first mindset, encouraging continuous learning, experimentation, and personal development. It’s a place where you can grow quickly while being surrounded by people who are both kind and smart. I’ve loved my experience here and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to make a difference in an exciting field with a company that is truly paving the way forward!

Cons

Fast-paced environment means priorities can shift quickly which is exciting, but requires adaptability.

Pros

Great benefits when you have them, competitive salary and workplace set up for remote work. Use the benefits ASAP. Remote work is great and they always strive for making it work. Met some amazing people here who want to make great work across teams.

Cons

Huge chance you’ll be let go. They said over and over there would be no more big changes but every quarter there was a bunch of people dropped. They now admit it saying it’s “not for everyone” but your work ethic or output are not usually the nail in the coffin. I say take the job but always be looking for a backup. It’s frustrating to be working toward their goals and all their crazy shifts, sometimes revamping whole processes or product details in a short timespan to then watch everyone be let go when their ideas don’t work.
