Pros

Talent acquisition team have ensured that we are really supported by colleagues of the highest capabilities and experience. We may be a young company, but, the combined experience is incredible. Some very strong IP which is laying the groundwork for a strong growth path. For a startup, DAQRI really ensure that employees are well supported with the right equipment and training. Benefits are also quite good.

Cons

The company has been moving fast, but, is really finding its stride now. Sometimes visibility and communication between the different locations can be poor. I guess this is a result of locating each discipline near the best talent pools wherever they are in the world.

Pros

I work in one of the European offices. Throughout the company it has been a though year but we are in a much better shape than we were a year ago, let alone two years ago. Over the past year the company has been head down on streamlining our efforts and focusing our resources, that means cutting down projects that are not core to the company (actually finding out what the core was) and reducing the work force where necessary. This has made a tremendous impact internally, Software Engineering, Continuous Integration and Testing are now really a focus on what we do rather than the patchwork of projects we used to do, and communication and collaboration has increased significantly. This is what DAQRI should have been from the beginning. Unfortunately, it also means a lot of angry and frustrated former employees who saw themselves not counted anymore as a part of the core. I can’t blame them, they have all the right to be angry (I would be too). But the reviews they leave are for what the company was rather than what it is today. We are now a truly engineering focused company, communication is encouraged and made available openly. We still have some way to go, legacy processes (or lack thereof) and codebases that need investment, but we are finally focused on the right path.

Cons

My answer a year or two ago would have been long, but not so much anymore. There are still some remains of the old DAQRI, but it is more a matter of time than direction change.

Pros

Brian Mullins and Andy Lowery are AWESOME leaders. Regardless of your role they will speak with as they would speak to clients and stakeholders. DAQRI is truly revolutionizing the way people work and play.

Cons

Communication is not always as effective as it should be. With exponential growth the company is no longer a tight knit family atmosphere. Sometimes individual contributors are not rewarded for their efforts.

Pros

AR is cool. Still a few people around that want to do a good job. Offices are nice. Unlimited PTO which some people take advantage of.

Cons

It starts at the top. CEO is passive aggressive and untrustworthy. Leadership team doesn't get along and don't know how to lead. There's a revolving door of execs. Diversity is non existent. Many teams are lead by people with no experience or humility. Bad behavior is tolerated. Communication is terrible. Teams are in silos (no wonder products don't work!) lots of big titles. People in conference rooms whispering is bad sign. Good people are leaving.

Pros

People seemed to like their work People at lower level were nice and got along with each other. Free food on Fridays, snacks + drinks it was balanced work and life for me can travel for work if needed (if you like traveling)

Cons

Communication wasn't great from upper management Too many layoffs happened Have to ask to work on something else multiple times Deadlines every two weeks with no specific requirements. Things would be changed from all teams and nobody knows what got changed until the day of release

Make or break

Pros

- Innovative product and industry - Good perks - Some smart people working here

Cons

Product: While the product is innovative and has massive potential, uplift has been slow. The issue is that a huge amount of work needs to be undertook in order to make the helmet work for each individual customers needs. Customers don't seem to be ready to make the time investment. As a result, sales and revenue have been very poor. Leadership: High turnover in leadership recently which isn't a good sign. Leadership is constantly changing personnel and direction which makes working at DAQRI very unstable. CEO can be very volatile. Layoffs are frequent. Communication: One word, terrible. Communication between teams, offices and departments is non-existent.

Pros

- Great products (Helmet and Glasses) to work with. Robust hardware made for industries and software updates show that the company is following the right path. - Amazing management. Feel free to take initiatives and you'll be given a lot of responsibilities with the time. The vision is well explained and the roadmaps are clear. - Skilled people in every department with wide knowledge of the AR environment (software and hardware). - Growing companies with many challenges and definitely the beginning of a great era.

Cons

- Communication sometimes but like in every company.
