Magic Leap reviews

Hiring took forever to build teams, 1-4 months to get offers approved Laid off folks during the holidays No transparency with leadership No work life balance for realistic goals Politics with managers creating bottlenecks to make them seem important

- Long hours and no work life balance (for groups who actually work instead of playing cards and waiting in line for orange juice and free food) - Lack of understanding by management of how to release product to consumer market, continual changes, and lack of focus and system level thinking - Poor corporate culture. Focus has turned from driven startup to one where people think they have guaranteed employment for life, CEO who references Star Wars more than he does business objectives, and lack of prioritization and understanding of what Magic Leap wants to achieve with this product - Excessive funding from investors has made the management think it is never going to dry up and they have lost focus on why the investors gave them money in the first place
