Pros

- Amazing people team. While working remotely for this company I had fun with online socials and had the opportunity to come in to visit the office for global gatherings. - You get given a lot of responsibilities and ownership. - Get given everything you need to support your work (VR headsets, at home work set up etc). - Starting to hire more in leadership which is helping build a good structure for a startup that has started rapidly growing - Transparent with things like runway or funding rounds and you can schedule time with C level executives (like one to one time with the CEO and CTO)

Cons

- Communication and feedback can be unclear - It is an engineering led company which would not suit someone who wasn't comfortable with challenging ideas, and it can take time to build trust between designers and engineers - There currently isn't a design lead although there are plans to hire for this role - You get thrown into the deep end and there's a lot of independent learning needed to succeed

Pros

Everyone I have met so far has been a really good person, if not a pleasure to work with. They prioritize getting the job done over following antiquated rules of the traditional workplace. Benefits are nice.

Cons

It is a startup, so information moves fast and it can be a challenge to keep track of what is current. I would say this is typical for the type of company it is.

Pros

- this company has flown me to multiple countries for global gatherings, where the meetings are actually helpful to understand what other teams are working on/towards, and fun excursions are planned for everyone - I’ve been able to make a deep impact at the company right away, because they trust they’ve hired the right people from the beginning, and give you the autonomy to work on your own ideas - the people are all so talented, passionate, and so willing to help wherever needed - they’re genuinely trying to make sure everyone is heard, by doing anonymous feedback surveys every week, having anonymous agendas to input your concerns and have them discussed during CEO open hours (whole company welcome), etc

Cons

- the work is hard. It’s a start up, so they are relying on you to bring your own expertise and constantly push yourself and the company goals forward. It’s not a place for you if you’re not ready to get stuck in - so many growing pains while everyone tries to figure out how to make a company dealing with a brand new technology (VR) palatable to the mass community + scalable as a growing company
