Pros
The individual contributors and many of the middle managers are hard working, smart people. The product (SaaS and hardware is impressive). The pay is good and the healthcare benefits are excellent. Reasonable place to get a nice title and reasonable pay while you look for a new job.
Cons
Matterport's C-level leadership is inept and immature, and therefore passively destructive to the future of the company. The CEO doesn't believe in planning more than a quarter at a time, and even then he spontaneously re-prioritizes the not-quite finalized plans whenever he sees something shiny on the horizon. The executive leadership team is never in alignment, but they all pretend they are in team meetings. Getting them to commit to OKRs or a roadmap is like herding feral cats. The strategy to increase revenue relies on laying off 25-30% of the company annually. By contrast, in 2021 the CEO was paid $157.9 million, which is more than the $136.1 million company revenue generated, according to an article published on 24/7 Wall Street on May 5, 2023. This is not a healthy company with a bright future, or really any future at all.
