Ethical Profile

Mixed.

MicroVision, Inc. presents a mixed ethical profile. Employee reviews on Glassdoor report an overall 3.2 out of 5 stars, with compensation and benefits rated 3.1, allegedly decreasing 7% over 12 months. Critics highlight a 63:1 CEO median pay ratio, with the CEO's total compensation at $6,524,977 versus a median employee compensation of $102,846 in 2024. Concerns arise from the company's re-entry into the military sector, evidenced by its Defense Industry Advisory Board and dual-use technologies. On environmental practices, reports suggest a lack of publicly available carbon emissions data and no specified reduction targets for MicroVision's own operations. The company has achieved TISAX certification for information security.
