Pros
- Good product market fit - People are very motivated and often put in 50+hrs a week - Projects are technically challenging and you learn a lot - AI, agents, good learning and work, and AI applications. - good lunch and dinner in office - good funding, and cash flow deals, good revenue
Cons
- Low ball salary, the recruiter will low ball and make you feel like they are doing a favor to even give you an offer, I guess it's the lowest paying startup in the bay area in AI, 130-150k for engineers with 4+ YOE. They pay under market, so don't join unless you are desperate. Check H1B data online for their low base salary. - The recruiter will take you for granted and it's the worst experience to make employees feel unwanted. - Terrible work pressure, expect 10+ hrs per day, with little or less equity reward, and low base. - No bonus, stock options are minimum, and will not amount to anything substantial, even if they exit - Employees don't have any upside, even after getting overworked.
