Pros

The technical problems in the projects are relevant and timely. There are some large clients.

Cons

The management and HR is very authorative and inflexible. There is not really room for negotiation. The communication about work expectations is sometimes poor which is made especially bad by the punitive atmosphere. Overall I feel that the work atmosphere is quite negative. Not a good workplace for maintaining mental wellbeing. There is also a strong atmosphere of secrecy, most decisions and discussions seem to happen in private.

Thank you for leaving the comment. Happy to hear that you have found the project work at Silo AI meaningful. Very sad to hear how you feel about the company culture. It's always our intent to be open and transparent in our communications but in a fast growing company this is an area that also needs constant improvement. We will discuss how the communication and transparency could be improved, and any concrete ideas from our employees are very welcome too. Supporting employees' mental wellbeing is a high priority for us, so we would be grateful to hear your suggestions for possible improvements (for example via Teamspective, our employee survey tool). Thank you for your feedback!

Pros

Lots of AI projects, many AI talents in the team

Cons

Silo AI is basically a consulting company. Although there exist several AI talents, the COO and managers do not bother looking into any CV. When there is a new project, the assignment is made primarily to the people they know and they like. As most of projects are average or below average for most of AI people, there is no need to find good people to assign. As a consequence, several AI talents are there without project and are considered "useless", no promotion applied over the years. Benefits and promotion are reserved to a group of people. The CEO seems do not want to intervene much to the COO and other's work.
