Dysfunctional, desperate, disingenuous.
Pros
- Has some great people if you exclude leadership - Small enough to have access to leadership, though not always approachable
Cons
- Culturally dysfunctional in every way. The culture is toxic, distrustful and sometimes downright exploitative. "Might is right" - you need to be a bulldozer, and if you don't sit in the right org, you probably don't stand a chance. - Known issues, bad behavior and bad player are ignored because fear/desperation to maintain schedule takes precedence - Lots of disingenuous "lipstick on a pig" initiatives to pretend the company cares about people, equality, women, etc but none of it holds up to practice. Again, leaders that clearly ignore company values get away with it if they are deemed necessary for maintaining the schedule - Get ready to be asked to work round the clock but without any incentives. No one cares about your health, life, or family, and if you want to work at Magic Leap, neither should you. - Equity isn't generous and no way to earn more once you're in the door. - Total lack of expertise, decision making, and accountability on senior leadership team. No one has the appropriate background for the role they're in - No path for advancement, and no priority on this - CEO is too emotional to make good business decisions - Company has zero strategy - Bottom line: org makes it very clear that you are a dispensable commodity that is getting paid to do a job and that's it. The rest of their org may not do THEIR job, but it's on you to pick up the slack and nothing about you or your future matters to the company.
