Supportive culture with manageable work-life balance. Not bad for an AI startup..
Pros
- Collaborative culture. This is not one of those companies that have a Hunger Games-like culture where people try to out-compete each other in order to not get PIPed every quarter. People genuinely try to help each other out, and people communicate with one another. - WLB is manageable for the most part. All of the other AI startups are doing a 996. It's fast-paced and very busy here, and some teams/roles are more frantic than others. However, the management/leadership are conscious to not create a burn-and-churn environment, and are intentional about creating a great culture. - Actual AI researchers in founder/leadership positions with academia experience. They actually understand what is going on industry-wide in AI and it helps us stay ahead of trends.
Cons
- It's a startup. Priorities change. Resources are scarce. Things move fast. Prioritization is key. - AI Training Data is a competitive space. - There's always long-term uncertainty in the AI world as things change from week to week.
