Pros: Strong ownership with lots of autonomy, moving very quickly in a super interesting space (forefront of AI!). Lots of very motivated and smart people.

Cons: Fast-moving often means stressful or not a 9-to-5. Expect evening and weekend work. In my opinion, it's well worth it for the pros, but it's not for everyone.

Pros: Remote work and that is it

Cons: Non-existent WLB. Engineering culture is bad, and there is no engineering leadership. Limited benefits throughout. Unlimited PTO has a lot of strings attached, and you are rarely allowed to take more than a week off.

Pros: AI-first company; high innovation; responsibility and growth are there for the taking.

Cons: Very immature leadership; one is trying to gloss over any and all employee concerns with "just work harder - that's how we win". The other does not care about humans whatsoever - all product all the time. If you don't like it then leave. The culture is "when in doubt, fire the person" - margin for error or professional growth is nonexistent. Everything that is slightly contrary to the "everything is great" narrative is quickly shut down, hidden and removed. This goes for employee concerns about comp, discussions about competition in the market, and even down to the HR team reading glassdoor reviews (hi there!) and asking employees to post good reviews. Never bring up any hint of work life balance - even the discussion about having a personal life is frowned upon.
