Pros: The core technology is interesting. Most of the regular ICs are super friendly. If you are interested in ML, this is definitely a place for that.

Cons: CTO has the inability to work with anyone who disagrees with him. Massive micromanaging in engineering and a massive disconnect between the number of product engineers and the company's product ambitions. Technical leadership has no platform vision and everything is hacked together. If you didn’t work at TellApart or Twitter, don’t expect to last long if you have any sort of opinions on roadmaps. Long term company vision makes no sense and is constantly changing. No willingness to actually try to do things differently. Relentless criticism and pressure from customer facing teams. Consistent negative feedback loop. Benefits are below industry average and the company retroactively changes employee compensation programs. Just don’t work here. You will be overworked, underpaid, and completely and utterly under appreciated.

Pros: - Fully remote and unlikely to ever change - Decent compensation, especially for low cost of living areas - Product that is good for its space

Cons: - The company is unlikely to have a massive upside. - The tech stack is not of the highest quality and has tons of AI-generated code.

Pros: - Great AI tooling. - Money is great, with top-of-the-line pay. - If the money they offer you is pretty much enough for you to sacrifice everything in your life, like health and being stressed about being PIPed, then definitely go for it. - Some teams are good; however, if you are on the wrong team, then it will be really tough to survive.

Cons: - Deadlines are insane because apparently AI is magic. - If you are in a team with a weak tech lead, then god help you. - Blame culture is encouraged in the India org, and people are focused on protecting themselves, which is understandable because the culture of the company comes from above. - Worst oncall culture in the industry, where you will have to manage work and oncall at the same time. Of course, due to having weak tech leads and architectural decisions, you will regularly be paged. - No feedback system to actually give feedback about your reporting persons, so if you don't get along with them, then you are effed. - People leave after 1 year or before because they realise the culture is rotten, work deadlines are really bad, and maybe the money is not worth the hit on mental and physical health.
