Pros

Good people amongst work colleagues who sadly have left or been asked to leave. Still hiring for their positions, at lower salaries.

Cons

DAQRI as we know it will not hold for years to come. In my opinion, it is destined to either transform or accept its lack of investment. If it transforms, it will not be in the best way; although searching for an opportunity granted by the protection (and deep pockets) of European branch (or future HQ) does seem like the good way to go, it might end up being counterproductive. If it accepts its lack of investment, or the impatience of its current investor, it might be wiser (as a way to avoid further costs) to declare bankruptcy.

Pros

- reasonable salary and benefits - flexible working hours

Cons

- company still not generating revenue. Still blowing through lots of investor's money with little progress to show for it - i tried the smart helmet several months ago and I was not impressed by the lack of usability. Recently tried it again and it's still rubbish with no improvement on usability. It is also too heavy to be used for any length of time in the field. Workers won't wear it for long periods of time.It is destined to fail. -company is too heavily reliant on one product. - zero employee loyalty - this company does a shakeup once every 6 months sacking many employees including many good ones - will be gobbled up and destroyed by the likes of Apple, MS ,etc when VR/AR becomes more mainstream and more players become involved. -- arrogant and out of touch CEO and board

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.
