Pros

Xcimer is an incredible place to work, full of brilliant scientists, engineers and technicians who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The company is extending the proven science of inertial fusion to commercial deployment by harnessing key technologies powered by the world’s highest-energy laser system. The approach is truly innovative and ingenious, building on decades of development to create the most viable path for bringing commercial fusion energy to the grid. Even better than all of that, the team is made up of some of the kindest and most humble individuals I’ve ever worked with. I can’t recommend Xcimer enough for anyone looking to be part of a mission that truly matters and will transform the world in a positive way.

Cons

The work is demanding, with tough deadlines that can push you to your limits and there is no play book for this type of work, so you need to be comfortable working through ambiguity. Additionally, the leadership team is still in the process of learning how to run a rapidly growing company, which can sometimes lead to growing pains. However, if you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are excited by the challenge of working on cutting-edge technology, these hurdles are manageable

Pros

The project Xcimer is working on is promising and the team is great to work with. I hope they can achieve their goals.

Cons

Bad management. My manager had no idea of the work I was doing and was largely unavailable, only making time to issue tasks. Multiple departments are understaffed and overworked, hiring plans don't focus on building a supporting backbone. Bringing this up and asking for change led to involuntary termination. All this went under the guise of "startup culture" which this company definitely should not get to profess as.

Pros

FAST-paced company with an incredibly unique blend of engineering and manufacturing functionality. The development of our cutting-edge fusion technology (and I mean CUTTING-edge) offers professionals numerous opportunities for growth across a multitude of industries. Xcimer also has one of the most welcoming and collaborative teams that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. We’re all in this together so you won’t find many closed doors or other barriers to meeting face-to-face in this environment. Everyone here is so damn smart, willing and able to work with each other on the daily challenges that come with our mission as well as hang out for hobbies and events outside the office life!

Cons

High expectations and rigid delivery deadlines for both the org as a whole and its staff members tend to create crunch in day-to-day operations when working towards completion of various milestones. New employees can expect to get thrown into the technical fray very quickly.
