Pros

If the product is launched, it would be exciting to be a part of it. It has so many positive applications.

Cons

The back-stabbing, non-engineer employees having to deal with lack of proper tools and equipment to do their jobs because the company has no money in the budget for them - HUH!? Increases so low they are not worth the expense of processing them. Being misclassified so as to pay less in wages. Like another reviewer wrote, this was not the ML I signed up for.

Exciting Product/Terrible Culture

Pros

I was at ML for two years; in the early days, it was small, scrappy and exciting. It was a challenging culture but one with a lot of promise. The health benefits were great, however upper management decided to switch from a standard PTO accrual program to a "take as much as you like" type of deal at the beginning of the 2018. They knew they would be making a number of terminations throughout the company, and this was a backdoor way of getting out of termination accrual payouts. It felt underhanded and sneaky, and in no way was the Magic Leap company that I initially signed on for.

Cons

In the early years, there was such a push for product launch, product launch, product launch that the company culture and infrastructure was a mere afterthought. Efforts since have been taken in order to initiate a good culture, but too little, too late. In the thrush of a multitude of lawsuits, no internal mobility, and expectations on deliverables in an environment that fostered a "dog eat dog" type of vibe, it turned into a not-so-happy company to be a part of anymore. It's truly a shame as the product itself has a lot of promise. The company, not so much.

Great Tech Bad Culture

Pros

Amazing technology. Super talented and intelligent individuals work there.

Cons

There is a culture of secrecy. Too many mid-level managers are Empire Builders. Too much focus on what people would like to do versus what can actually be done given certain constraints. Certain departments don't understand the true customer and focus on internal agendas.
