Pros

In a startup, you'll directly contribute the research outcome to product and moreover, revenue. Which means there are more chances to build an impact. Also in Text IQ, the working environment is pretty dynamic and at a fast pace, you can complete your work in your favorite working style. To propose new techniques and system is easy to be embraced as long as it meets the requirements. The opportunity to develop industrial level machine learning models both in supervised / unsupervised manner is a huge plus as a research engineer here. Immersed in cutting-edge research results and stay in touch with the research community is also part of the daily job here. The engineer/researcher peers are awesome. I enjoy the time collaborating with people here. And as the team grows we're bringing more FAANG company talents into our board. Pretty exciting.

Cons

Typical start-up growing pain --- dynamic goals, sometimes strict deadlines, and not so well structured management system The main engineer team is located in Vancouver which means communication is sometimes trickier for NY research/engineer peers.

Pros

Though Text IQ is growing rapidly, particularly following our recent Series A funding, the company manages to maintain a close-knit start-up environment that allows for real cohesion of the team, which is particularly impressive considering that we have team members spread out over four offices in three different countries! Whereas some tech companies have reputations for internal cutthroat competition, Text IQ's team members are compelled to perform at their highest levels not to one up anyone, but rather to bolster everyone and contribute to our collective success. Working in a culture where you know everyone has your back is certainly reassuring and also seems to spark greater productivity, as everyone is motivated to do their part and go above and beyond with the aim of propelling Text IQ to the next level. The infectious enthusiasm of the co-founders inspires this level of dedication, ensuring that Text IQ will continue to grow and prosper as we look ahead to an even brighter future!

Cons

In a still small company, it is difficult to fly under the radar. While that is not actually a "CON," it's important that anyone who is considering working for Text IQ knows that 100% dedication is expected, and as mentioned above, the majority of our team is more than willing to invest the time and effort necessary to excel in their roles.
