Pros

I suppose working at a fast-paced startup can be considered a pro in the sense that it's a unique experience and you have the opportunity to learn a lot.

Cons

People who work here who claim to be experts really are not all the expert. Senior mgmt do NOT know how to treat people well. I'm often surprised at how even the slightest discussions can devolve into animosity. There is absolutely no work-life balance. I suppose that is my choice but if we really were building world-class products and doing bleeding edge work and not just copying industry concepts we could actually be attracting more talent. As it stands we're just treading water.

Pros

There are lots of smart people. Some are working on really cool novel technology. Business outcomes seem fairly promising, feels like we are delivering value to the customer.

Cons

- Horrible Work life balance. One could expect to work weekends and nights consistently. - Terrible use of resources. Many engineers are working on data labeling tasks for long periods of times (weeks, months). - People get let go on a whim fairly regularly. - No real culture. I know nothing about my coworkers. You sign in, do your job, and log off. I don't get the sense that anyone is happy or excited to be here. - Compensation is low. PTO policy is tight. They are stingy about logging days and accrual, which is fair. Though it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when we're expected to work weekends and nights for deliveries.

Pros

- the company is working on exciting problems - Technically competent leadership - Engineering first culture

Cons

- the company is depending on one main customer. Expanding the customer base has proven to be challenging - No consideration given to the employees. A few employees(junior and on work visa) got fired out of the blue. No warning or severance were given. The only discernible reason was that a “director” did not like them. - Below market compensation. Moreover, many (top performing) employees have not gotten a raise in years. - No effort to address the growing technical debt leading to a “work harder not smarter” culture.
