Pros

Team members and people your closely interact with are friendly, experienced, and highly-skilled.

Cons

- Company Finances are suspicious. Under the current CEO, targets have been missed for 8 consecutive quarters and no bonuses awarded for 2 years, but the products are apparently making more money than ever before. It's one story for employees and another story for investors. - Leadership have shown shocking behaviour and misogyny towards employees, publicly admonishing people, particularly women, on company calls. It's a humiliating experience having to sit and listen to your colleagues being treated this way. - Experienced engineers and managers are being for forced out. Keeping costs low and equity concentrated to the leadership is taking priority over actually developing any products. Any open positions are given to unqualified friends of the CEO, rather than promoting internally. - Leadership don't know what direction to take, or even to understand the industry they are in. Everyone failed business decision is always someone else fault. The priority is keep making demoes to lure in clients, while the only products which actually make money are under resourced or abandoned.

Pros

Decent products. People who work here care (but read below) True AI for the most part.

Cons

In the last several months, there’s been a lot of turnover. Very recently, the North American sales leader, the global PSO leader, and several key execs across services, product and support have all left. Many of the new execs didn't even stay for a year. There are RIFs what feels like every month for the last couple of years. Parts of the business are growing while the company is struggling with products and proper customer support. It’s honestly frustrating because this could be a good company. But there’s a lot of uncertainty at the top, and you can feel the lack of direction. Good, sharp people have come in to try and make a difference, but many of them seem to leave just as quickly, likely due to the chaos at the top. Based on that, I’d think twice before joining right now.
