Pros

They have a gym and life-work balance is fair

Cons

They say they take care of the employee, but they dont really. There is a lot of favoritism. They say they are diverse, but diversity is not empowered. Promotions and career development are all based on your manager's opinion and completely random even though their HR says they have a process for it.

Pros

Brightseed has well-intentioned founders and leadership, interesting way of using AI for human health, and do their best to cultivate a "team first" working environment. The base pay is great compared to other startups and health insurance is fully covered. The founders are diverse and they hire people from diverse backgrounds too (DEI is taken seriously here). Though it sucks to have free lunches and travel taken away, it's a good thing that the leadership is being conservative with spending cash.

Cons

Recent layoff conducted on Sept 2023 makes everyone nervous. Even if the company continues to raise money, it's unclear if you and your role are valued. Like many other companies, they might say they value you, but then let you go anyway. There has been high attrition since the layoffs and the revolving personnel makes work chaotic. Others who are still employed are looking to get out. It is also unclear what the company's path to recurring revenue is. Most of the organization is still R&D-centered and not commercially minded.

Pros

Highly relationship-oriented team with industry roots - if you want to be in the nutritional products industry, this is a well-connected team

Cons

Style is prioritized over substance culturally. More bureaucratic / less advancement vs. what is expected at a startup. Org was borne from a technology, instead of to solve a specific problem, creating confusion around the focus/mission, value to partners, and value of its products.
