Pros

- Some of the best coworkers I’ve ever had. - Some good perks and benefits, but by no means unique for a well-funded startup.

Cons

I joined integrate.ai because the job they pitched seemed like a life-changing opportunity. I left because it wasn’t. - Leadership lacks vision and recycles the same ideas, which is unfortunate because I don’t think they’re ahead of the market anymore. - Leadership hasn't demonstrated experience building a product that kills a real pain for the customer. They also don’t seem to understand how to bring a product to market. - Very ops-heavy organization, with little to show for it (in my time there, we used a handful of different operational frameworks without following through on any one). - No accountability across the organization. At no point was my performance measured against a set of metrics. - My department was dysfunctional. Our executive made reactive decisions based on gut instinct and seemed incapable of learning from past mistakes. They argued openly with reports (sometimes belittling them and their work in front of coworkers). They were directive driven, petty, and generally unpleasant to work with. Instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes, they blamed other departments or coworkers who had quit and couldn’t speak for themselves. - Integrate.ai is invested in its culture, which is meant to be people-centric; with that in mind, they should practice what they preach. Advice for interviewers: - Ask difficult questions and be sure to interview with your department’s executive. - Be sure you understand: a) what your job will entail; and b) how your manager intends on measuring your success. If neither of these basic questions can be answered, tread very carefully.

Pros

A lot of companies talk the talk about values and caring for their employees, but integrate walks the walk. Who knew trusting your people to do good work and treating them well would lead to amazing things?

Cons

It’s a startup, and so there is natural uncertainty.

Pros

Everyone is super impressive and friendly - I've never worked with a group of people that are all so kind, yet very motivated. The company feels like it has a lot of positive momentum and with the people we're hiring, it'll be a fun ride. I'd never had the experience where I enjoyed going into work every day prior to this and didn't think I was that kind of person to be honest. I do though, which is a testament to the culture and people here. A lot of ownership and your opinion will count for a lot. You'll get a lot of say in where things go which is nice. Work is interesting and cuts across a lot of domains which is fun if you get bored easily like me. Plus we're reaching into some cool ethical areas. I also like how strict we are with not contacting people on vacation and having pretty good work-life balance for a startup.

Cons

Pretty classic startup, but the company is growing and changing very quickly so you have to be someone that is ok with or preferably enjoys dealing with ambiguity and change. Probably self-inflicted since I like taking a lot of things on, but I do tend to work a few more hours than I have in some easier corp environments.
