Pros

You get to work with reasonably smart people with good backgrounds, so it's always a good learning experience. Also, the company is remote, so you don't have to commute to work.

Cons

Akasa doesn't value its people. Check out their median employee tenure duration on LinkedIn. During my time there, I didn't feel valued or appreciated, while there was always a lingering fear of being terminated if you made any mistakes. I remember a colleague being fired over something that I believe would be at most a slap on the wrist in a normal company. Their belief in employee dispensability is palpable in the culture. Hence you would see dedicated and hardworking employees, who I never thought would leave the company, all of a sudden disappear. I have seen many high-performing and committed individuals leaving the company because of burnout or the sheer fact that doing one's job is extremely difficult here. There's a new fire everyday when you open your notebook in the morning. The middle management is a bunch of yes-men who don't have the spine to stand up for something.

Pros

- Supportive, energetic coworkers who are great at what they do. - AI in healthcare is a very exciting place to be right now. A lot of opportunity for growth and positive impact in a critical space for Americans. - A lot of freedom to develop skills and define processes. Have not been micromanaged or boxed into current role definitions. - Opportunity to shape and define workflows without getting bogged down in process. Overall this is a great place to work. Impressive leadership team with a clear vision and goal. The team all the way down is able to execute projects and reach ambitious goals, allowing the company to scale smoothly and quickly.

Cons

If you don't like the (slightly) chaotic and fast paced startup environment, this would be a challenging place to be.
