Pros

Great perks and great benefits. I've been full time for over 3 years now and I can say this is the best job I've ever had. I've been laid off 4 times in my career and I'm now on my 5th career job. Hope this one will last for a good while.

Cons

Working a lot of hrs but for a great cause and hope it will be worth it all one day.

Magic Leap Response

Better than Google

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a very good balance between software and hardware. They have good perks and have been improving. For example, they recently increased their parental leave for men and women, and now give more leave than Google does. Florida is a great place to live, with far better beaches than California.

Cons

The stock options cannot be exercised yet, because the company is not public like Facebook or Google. So you have to live on your salary only, which is not bad because the cost of living in Florida is low.

Magic Leap Response

Thank you for the review! Happy to hear that you are happy with our perk improvements and are very excited to offer parental leave that is equal for all new parents!
