Abnormal AI

Solid pay for a small-medium sized company historically, and smart and kind ICs and line managers.

• Leadership surrounds themselves with "yes" people, and anyone who implies that the CTO's ideas aren't brilliant are sent away, and managed out.
• Roughly annual layoffs.
• Very small severance compared to what is being offered from similar layoffs.
• New hire directors are no different from the C-suite; they pretend to listen, and then do the opposite.
• If you're looking to join from anywhere other than India, you should expect to have your position removed in the future.

You aren't the best at everything. Listen to your senior and staff ICs who are closer to the problems than you. The systems they've built have grown beyond your ability to fully grasp like you think you can. Be kind. Don't lie to the current employees saying the laid off ones have been well taken care of. It's not true.
