Cons

- Lack of upper level leadership. Dictatorship with no experience in production based products. - Leadership does not understand the difference between a science experiment and a product. - Leadership discounts the expertise of workers. - Does not offer competitive Pay, thus will never be able to hire or retain top talent. TC is typically half of what is offered in other companies. -

Pros

Lightmatter has created a culture of innovation focused on supporting the very people who make it happen. The technology is truly groundbreaking and the first of its kind. As an engineer, the work is challenging, rewarding, and exciting. Flexible work environment (many are hybrid). The collaboration and teamwork feels really solid across the board. The people here are some of the best and brightest in the world, and are truly fantastic to work alongside. As someone who has worked with scientists and engineers my entire career, the caliber here is not only due to technical expertise. It is the fact that each person here chooses to collaborate out of respect for their team's excellence, and nothing more. I always feel encouraged by others to share my new ideas, and supported by the team and management in every way.

Cons

None - this is the right place for me.
