Pros

I am working at one of AI related organization. There are some interesting problems to solve in this area.

Cons

Leadership has no clear direction. Code repo is a mess and engineering quality is low. People works late at night especially during two launch events each year.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
