I spent a whole day on the onsite coding round and still got rejected, even though I met all the requirements and had everything working.

I should have read other people's posts beforehand.

HebbiaAI Work Experiences

Only join if you want to grind or don't bother

Software Engineer • Current Employee

New York, New York, United States

Pros: - Smart and humble colleagues - Lunch every day in the office - Uber rides home after 8pm

Cons: Many execs and ICs leave or are pushed out after 6-8 months of tenure. Their average tenure is 0.8 years (Source: LinkedIn). Take that for what you will. No onboarding when I joined; things have improved since then. Sink or swim culture; I don't see much collaboration happening. High-pressure environment as big players like Anthropic and OpenAI unveil their own product offerings in research and agentic-AI. Five days a week in the office, with no flexibility on this. Pay is mid compared to other players.
