Pros

- One of the few profitable startups and the first profitable AI company on record - Very few direct competitors - Lots of large customers like Microsoft, eBay, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Cisco, Salesforce, Crunchbase, Hubspot, Adobe, Instapaper, and Onswipe, read the press releases for lots of candid information. - Business is growing rapidly. - Working with people who are passionate about Knowledge Graphs, machine learning, structured data and Artificial Intelligence - Free snacks and drinks, expense your lunches - Flexibility in hours and working remote - Great work life balance - Social activities - Lucrative stock options - Fully paid PPO Health plan with no paycheck deductions even for family coverage I filtered through about 300 companies before deciding to apply and join this one. Many had revenue growth issues, bad products, too much market competition, bad management layers, or were trying to grow employees too quickly leading to lower hiring standards. This is one of the few shining stars.

Cons

It's a startup so it's not for everybody. Taking ownership, being self motivated, and making good decisions will help you excel in this environment.

Making real revenue by solving hard problems

Pros

Extreme independence. If you have valid research pursuits that have valid market opportunities, it will be supported inasmuch as you can demonstrate outcomes. Massive problem set / undertaking. It's a big challenge. There is a legitimate, profitable business underpinning (and underpinned by) the company's AI endeavors.

Cons

It's a big challenge the company has taken on, both technically and computationally. Sometimes the breadth of the potential work is so broad that the co would benefit from narrower focus, at least in short spurts.

Profitable & Research Driven AI Startup with a Stellar Team

Pros

Perks and benefits of a large company. Great CEO, and collaborative team members. Diffbot has game changing product offerings that provide consistent value to our customers. - Unlimited PTO - Fully paid medical, vision and dental insurance - Employer sponsored HRA fund - Learning & Development fund - Fully supported work-life balance - 401K options with matching - Fun team building activities - Fully stocked snacks & drinks - Pet friendly HQ Management supports your ideas and improvements for the product, and doesn't micromanage your projects. I appreciate the amount of autonomy that's given to let you work. The team is incredibly smart, experienced, and talented.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. You have to be a self starter, and embrace startup culture. If you prefer the feel of a larger company Diffbot would not be a good fit.
