Pros

Opportunity. There's so much opportunity for growth in your career here at BadVR. With this company being a tech start-up, one that's already gained so much attention with their technology, I feel privileged to have been one of the first few groups of employees since being hired a year ago. Yes, the environment is fast at times, but this is again, a tech start-up, and the pace is no different anywhere else that's doing what we do. Freedom. I am so thankful for the ability to work remotely, anywhere I want to for that matter. I appreciate being able to delegate my own hours and get my work completed around what works best for my personal life. Communication. I've always felt that I've been able to effectively communicate with all management and both founders here at this company which is not always as easy with other companies. Being in a higher-level role myself, it's important that I have the ability to reach our decisions makers at all times of the day, which I always can. Passion. There's a lot of passion here and a lot of talent. It's my type of vibe and the type of environment that I succeed in. I appreciate the structure, it makes me excited to work towards the bigger rewards I know this type of passionate environment delivers - and for that, I don't feel like I'm just working towards building someone else's dream.

Cons

Although I love being remote, working in the same office can sometimes make it easier to communicate with the team.

Pros

Lots of freedom - remote working (with an office to visit when you're lonely or on the occasion it's necessary for team meetings), ability to make your own hours, constant encouragement to think outside the box, to come up with new ideas, to really push boundaries and be creative. Plus, both founders are very much focused on rewarding sufficiency and self-management, so if you're the kind of person who hates being micromanaged, this is the place for you. Really good health insurance plans (PPO, gold tier and higher), fully covered by the company. They also offer stock options, life / accident insurance, and 401k saving plans.

Cons

If you don't like strong female leaders, this is not the place for you. Also, if you're here to try to pick up women, brag about your dating conquests, mock female engineers, or pontificate about your views regarding 'a woman's place being in the home' - this definitely not the place for you either. Feminism and equality - i.e. building safe workplaces for women and other minorities - is the de-facto cause of the company's CEO and she tolerates no BS from anyone in this regard. Also, the CTO can be difficult at times with giving feedback. He has high standards and really does push for great work. I guess if you're a morning person too, might be hard, as most people on the team are night owls and start work later (and then work later into the evening).
