Pros
This is by far the best job I've ever had. Speechmatics mission to 'understand every voice' is incredibly inspiring and being surrounded by like-minded people who are driven to remove bias in AI is genuinely amazing. In my two years of working here, I have learnt so much from both kind and generous peers, who are always on hand to support me; the culture is honestly second to none. Our new Conversational AI product is very exciting and I really believe in the companies ground-breaking technology. My boss gives me autonomy and flexibility, whilst guiding me through challenging projects. And most importantly, I feel like I belong.
Cons
Because of the fast-paced nature of a start-up, things can pivot quite quickly, so you have to be quite agile and it can take a bit of time to adjust.
