Pros

XPRIZE has been a great place to work and has given me some really awesome professional opportunities. Like most organizations, your experience at XPRIZE depends on the people you work with on a daily basis, and I've been lucky to have had a very strong team during my tenure. In all honesty, XPRIZE is a better place to work today than it has ever been. The current management team is strong, stable, and increasingly effective. It may not be perfect, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a job here to my friends (this was not always the case).

Cons

In the past, the management team was plagued by in-fighting, incompetence, and power struggles. This created significant problems all over the organization that manifested in low morale and high turnover. These issues are reflected in many of the poor reviews of XPRIZE on this site (although not all of the poor reviews are entirely fair or accurate, in my opinion). Those responsible for the worst of the issues no longer work here. XPRIZE has struggled to structure the organization to support its programs effectively. As a result, some of the business functions can be frustrating... but honestly, what workplace doesn't have some headaches?

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)
