Not what I thought it would be.

Pros

Great idea but poor execution. Nice benefits package (Dental, Medical, Vacation). Work from home.

Cons

Red tape, egos, mistreatment of subordinates, lack of promotion. Still trying to figure how some prizes benefit humanity. Overworked under paid.

A lot of potential, but that’s probably it

Pros

Great place to network, discuss ideas and imagine a better future in a dystopian world. People and Culture are doing a great job looking for ways to support the work environment, such as quarterly quiet week and a new monthly benefit for wellness and family support. Great place to spend a year getting ready for your next career move if you need some padding on your resume. You’re colleagues may be some of the best people you’ve ever met, depending on your team. The CEO does her best to listen to concerns and makes herself available to people (she is an incredibly busy woman).

Cons

The problems here are structural, nothing is going to change. No room for advancement for most positions. The negative reviews are true and there is no way to know if they are from the few who were rightfully let go or the many that chose to leave due to the dysfunction and lack of career growth opportunities.

All the negative reviews are accurate

Pros

None. Most of the good people are gone by now.

Cons

This place claims to be changing the world, yet none of their prizes have had a lasting impact in any meaningful way. The entire organization is set up so that rich billionaires can get good press while socializing with celebrities. Employee turnover is extremely high, which is the only way you get positive reviews on glassdoor. Management has a terrible reputation, and desevedly so. If you join XPRIZE and hate your life in six months, you only have yourself to blame. Ask the many dozens of people who've been traumatized by that place what it is really like. You've been warned.
