It's ok, cool company, cool products, but the human aspect is severely lacking

What makes you most happy at work?

learning new things makes me happy

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

benefits and employee skills development

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

More excitement for what we're working on and wanting to help others and themselves get better to make cooler products

What did you like most about the interview process?

The transparency was nice- good to know where I stood in the interview process even if it did take long

What do you like best about your company?

I like that they're trailblazing AR technologies which is going to be the future of tech once things like apple glasses and headsets replace our phones

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They seem to want to change if you directly engage them, but it is met with lots of push back and questioning- which is reasonable but annoying and makes me not want to give feedback.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

I like the friday events every other week- not a fan that the first 80% of it are shout outs and the last 20% is where the real interesting company developments are- wish hit was the other way around. It's a really cool way to make employees feel involved
