Pros

Some great colleagues, Remote work

Cons

So, you're thinking of joining Matterport? Let me give you a 3D view into this fascinating world of non-strategy: Buzzword Bingo Champion: Matterport has an uncanny knack for chasing after every shiny new buzzword like a squirrel on caffeine. If you’re looking to expand your jargon vocabulary, welcome aboard! By the time you leave (or run screaming from the virtual building), you’ll be fluent in all the latest and greatest nonsense. Leadership...or Lack Thereof: The leadership team is a marvelous collection of incompetent folks. Speaking of, they recently introduced a "Chief Customer Operations Officer" – sounds fancy, right? Trust me, she outshines them all in the incompetence department. A real star! People Team led by Jean: Imagine a circus without a ringmaster. That's the People Team. Supposedly they exist, but their cluelessness about the tanking morale is on par with a fish out of water. Jean, if you’re reading this, maybe try out a Ouija board? Might help you get in touch with your team's feelings. The CEO/Chairman Double Act: RJ Pittman. CEO and Chairman of the board. Because why not wear two hats when you can avoid accountability twice as effectively? If you're wondering how eBay tanked, here’s your answer. Matterport, brace yourself; you're next on his hit list. Hope Level: If Matterport were a battery, we'd be running on a consistent 0%. Hope is as scarce as a unicorn in this place. In conclusion, if you have an overwhelming desire to watch a company sink like the Titanic while dancing to the tune of buzzwords, and you have an immunity to plummeting morale, Matterport is your destination. Welcome aboard!

Pros

As a tech company they offer some good benefits (dental insurance, private health insurance, fitness perk). The technology works well and is easy to handle.

Cons

I had to deal with a particularly bad manager, a narcissist of the highest order. The manager had and a total lack competence in all areas, from time management to just running a simple meeting, and his social skills were equally bad. I could go on lengths about that manager, but the problem is much deeper. It starts with the terrible recruitment process, basically there is none. They would higher any person that is claiming to be fit for the job and talks a good game. The management knew about the toxic manager, but protected him anyway. Do not expect to get any help from HR or the leadership, and if they sent any employee surveys you better give 5 stars or else you will be marked out. The claims of "making a dent in the universe" and an "AI powered digital twin" are empty, because the demand is simply not there. The company tries to succeed in Real Estate, Retail, Construction and Events, but the requirements in these industries are very different and it does not fit any use case. Real Estate would be obvious, but the company is cannibalising itself with hundreds of resellers and service providers. The whole company is stressed and overworked, being burned out is part of the DNA in this company. Managers will create plenty of busy work to look good, and reps are expected to play along.

Pros

Most team members still try their best, despite of company environment

Cons

1) No clear path towards profitability 2) No leadership. No direction. C-Suite immersed in their little world, talking among themselves, without understanding customers' and market needs 3) Products are launched without any proper planning. Resulting in poor positioning, wrong pricing (making losses for each new product sold!), zero IP protection, slow product registration outside US.... 4) Insufficient budget to do any market activation activities 5) Too many "cheer-leading" meetings without substance. 6) No career growth plans 7) Annual Layoff - as part of "cost optimization". For same position, every year it is "Hire and re-Hire", and repeat. bottom line....join only as last resort. But be prepared to be lay-off, which typically happen around every summer.
