Pros

I talk about the company in general and engineering team in specific. -The CTO is probably one of the best people you'd ever get to work with, he's very smart, chill and has an open glass door policy. -A collective of great and smart people to work with, YouVisit is definitely a place where you'll form friendships and feel like you're part of a family. -Good work/life balance most of the time. -A lot of potential with the VR space. -The management is usually aware of it's wrong doings and tries hard to improve.

Cons

-A lot of process between the product team and the engineering team, which sometimes can be good, but most of the time it's an overkill and a waste of time. -Because of the nature of VR in the market right now, the company is moving in every direction to keep up, which can get overwhelming sometimes. -Berks, amenities and compensation, are fair, but can always be better. With that being said be aware that you're not working for a fortune 500. This is a self made company, no investors no fake money, and no people with years of experience, so it comes at a price, and growing pains. But it's worth it, you'll learn a lot.

Pros

Fun and interesting technology Casual office, typical of the tech industry in NYC Was on a team with really wonderful and smart people

Cons

Disorganization at the c-suite level. CTO, CEO, and CFO all seemed to want different things and push their own agenda, which in turn trickled down to the teams that reported to them respectively, often times with major oversights and conflicts that had real consequences for both employees and clients No real company culture and lots of 'rah rah!' talk about working together as one company but then focuses were almost immediately shifted to one team or another. No real foresight about the ability to grow and scale a company like this - more and more clients were being brought on but there was not nearly enough staff being hired to manage it and current employees were overloaded then penalized for not being able to keep up if something fell through the cracks. Little to no career development or opportunity for advancement. Compensation was a bit of a joke - while medical/dental/vision premiums were covered 100%, the plans themselves were garbage, no 401K or retirement plans, no equity, and low starting salaries for the experience/skills needed. The office space itself was not modern, pretty dirty/unkempt, and often times reeked because of the plumbing issues in the building.
