Vantaggi

There was a really great team at one point. Hard working, mission driven people who wanted to serve the ALS community and build a consumer product. Unfortunately, many of these team members have largely left the company.

Svantaggi

The company itself is not pursuing either ALS or a consumer product seriously. Most of these projects have been abandoned in favor of Government contracts (DoD). Demos are favored over building a product, so most projects go by the wayside quickly - which leads to the company being entirely directionless - pursuing short term money over any tangible future. Leadership barely understands the gesture control technology that has been built. Suggested improvements to the core tech are actively ignored. Real improvements that are made to the core tech are either discredited or lambasted because the they aren't understood. The culture is toxic. Honest feedback is treated as "toxic negativity" and rooted out. Hard working employees and discredited and slowly phased out for trying to improve the culture or technology. There are rumors that those who spoke up have been fired.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are listening and learning from mistakes we’ve made in the past. We will continue to acknowledge challenges and obstacles as they arise and implement solutions like team onsites, feedback sessions for our executive team, and communication from leadership that gives more visibility into strategic decisions. We’re investing in our Product team and with that our ability to make progress quickly towards a better-defined product market fit and long-term commercial product strategy. It won’t happen overnight, but we have heard the feedback on this and are directing resources to these efforts in a deliberate way. It’s not always perfect, but we try hard and we are committed. We wish you the best in your career. Claire, Senior Manager People Operations

Vantaggi

Talented engineers and cool tech/IP

Svantaggi

The former CEO John Croteau ran this company into the ground. This company was original founded to help ALS patients. He made us pivot to making a baseball app because he likes baseball (he is now the owner of the Lowell Spinners). He used ChatGPT to justify this extreme pivot. The company hasn't paid employees on time since July 30th 2025.
