FigureAI Work Experiences
- 1.0Toxic environment to workEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesOctober 10, 2025Pros: They have good daily food.Cons: The job is not family-friendly. You should expect to work over twelve hours a day, every single day, plus some weekends. There is a huge bias toward some people who are the CEO's favorites. The CEO keeps giving promises to employees for stock buybacks and gives weird valuation speculations, but no employee has been able to gain a single penny from the stock.
