Pros

None. Most of the good people are gone by now.

Cons

This place claims to be changing the world, yet none of their prizes have had a lasting impact in any meaningful way. The entire organization is set up so that rich billionaires can get good press while socializing with celebrities. Employee turnover is extremely high, which is the only way you get positive reviews on glassdoor. Management has a terrible reputation, and desevedly so. If you join XPRIZE and hate your life in six months, you only have yourself to blame. Ask the many dozens of people who've been traumatized by that place what it is really like. You've been warned.

Pros

lots of room for autonomy, working on world's hardest problems, great culture, great people, great benefits.

Cons

always room for improvement in scheduling all hands meetings- (hard with so many people in the company), doing a LOT of things at once (generally good thing, comes with challenges)
