Pros

Really strong team with smart, motivated people. The work is meaningful and you get a lot of ownership early on. I've learned a lot in a short amount of time, and the culture is supportive and collaborative. The technology and product are very strong.

Cons

This may be a pro or a con depending on personal preference, but it is important to know going in that it’s a fast-paced environment and expectations are high. You need to be comfortable working hard, and there can be periods with longer hours depending on priorities.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. It's good to hear that early ownership and team collaboration defined your first year as a Forward Deployed Engineer - that's what we aim for. You're right that the pace is intense, and we appreciate you naming it directly. Building sustainable rhythms without losing speed is something we're actively working on as we scale. Your point about protecting the culture as we grow is noted, thank you for your care and advice. If you ever want to share more, our door is open. ElevenLabs Talent Team

Pros

I love the whole vibe of the company, it’s fast paced but not in an insane way, but in a motivating way.

Cons

It’s contracted, would be nice to be benefited, but honestly overall, very happy.

Pros

High inbound volume, name carries weight with customers

Cons

Pay is below market and equity for GTM is basically nothing Sales is treated like a necessary evil, you feel it constantly Comp plans expect a never ending stream of hype that will fall apart at the first bump in the road Agents product is falling behind and models are commoditizing fast
