Pros

Fully remote and flexible working Working with bleeding-edge technology

Cons

The following is a statement of opinion. In my experience the most challenging aspect of working at Sapia was the pervasive gaslighting. It's disheartening to constantly question the authenticity of information and wonder whether what you're being told is real or simply a fabricated narrative. This atmosphere of uncertainty makes it difficult to trust colleagues, specifically senior leadership. Towards the end of my tenure at Sapia I had serious moral concerns about the ethics of Sapia's product. Using AI to make important employment decisions raises questions about bias, fairness, and the potential for unintended consequences. The longer I worked at Sapia and the more I learned about the product and it's development history, the more concerned I became. I encourage prospective employees to educate themselves by researching the topic. Despite being a company who preaches equal opportuity leading to diversity, I think Sapia is as diverse as a piano keyboard. With very minor exception the entire engineering team is either from Asia or is located within Asia. It was openly joked in all hands meetings that when people met Sapia's contracted finance manager for the first time (who has now moved on) people thought he was an engineer due to his Asian descent. By contrast, the rest of the company with minor exceptions are caucasian. This may be validated and derived by examining listed Sapia employees page on Sapia's Linkedin page, do note this may change over time due to employee churn, of which I perceive to be quite high. I encourage prospective employees to take some time to research Sapia or PredictiveHire in depth and apply critical thinking. Look beyond Glassdoor, look at past employees on Linkedin, look at when the company was actually founded and by who (hint, it wasn't in 2018). Maybe ask the CEO about it in your interview with her and see if her answer diverges with your findings.

Pros

Very flexible work and ability to learn from leaders and other smart colleagues is a huge upside.

Cons

Fast-paced but that can also be a major upside because it's rarely mundane.
