Pros

Incredibly neat and applicable tech, the data being gathered is especially important and can influence the world moving forward. The people in Chicago are an awesome bunch. Smart, supportive, and fun. From the VP to the managers, you won't find more intelligent or authentic sales leaders anywhere. The sales team is also an awesome group with lots of really great ideas and contributions. Believe it or not, many people on the HR staff are also great and very helpful. The marketing team is brilliant. You can learn a lot about how to sell here and make some very strong relationships to boot.

Cons

What you don't read in these reviews is that the fault for Matterport's problems is mostly because of the the Executive team in California. I think this is a Executive team that is drunk on Silicon Valley style capitalism. This means that most of them are out of touch with human beings and and make decisions without considering existentialist variables. Examples: I saw so many repetitive operational mistakes from the top (such as issues with paying out commissions), cutting key people out of communication chains(think need to know emails), unnecessary micromanagement, continual setting of unrealistic goals, and a shocking attrition rate of high level people(VPs, directors etc).

Unstable environment.

Pros

The engineers are great to work with. The hardware and software are very interesting and provide unique challenges. Looking forward to seeing how the technology develops.

Cons

Despite the positive outlook for the product, the overall work environment is highly volatile. A number of FT employees and consultants have been let go without prior warning or any review process. There seems to be little interest in personal growth of employees, which is especially concerning given that this is a startup.

Pros

- Great product with countless applications, functions, and potential - Very well positioned for the future of virtual reality

Cons

EVERYTHING is disconnected and unorganized. People. Products. Processes. - Leadership is massively disconnected from individual employees. They can't understand employees let alone customers. - Hire and Fire. Grim Reaper comes once a year with mass lay offs. - Finding help is a challenge or like going on an epic man hunt - Sales reps are so unprepared to help out with majority of customer issues or inquiries. - Hiring outside managers that don't even understand the product or processes. Managers that aren't even able to help out with some of the most basic of asks from their team or continually point you in the wrong direction. - Sales enablement doesn't enable anything aside from frustration. Salesforce is a total wreck. No one is available/ severely understaffed. Many different sales tools available that are disconnected or not organized at all. A lot of permissions are very restricted wasting so much unnecessary time messaging managers or IT. - Training. No proper initial training, but then getting criticized for not knowing how to do something. next to no resources available. - Unending directionless change. - Terrible tracking of opportunities, deals, etc - No credit for a lot of work between terrible tracking, countless changes, customers going to third parties. - HR is strictly there to protect the company, not it's employees
