Process

I applied through a recruiter.

Application: Recruiter reached out to me, the teams was very considerate of my long time line for interviewing (I had a holiday booked in the middle of the process and they where willing to wait) Interview: The interview was really well laid out. First is a talk with the recruiter followed by a small take home project (I think I spent 2 hours on it, but I liked the task and thought it was a good test of my skills).

The next step was with the Engineer Manager Bill, who seems like a wonderful and thoughtful person. This interview was a deep dive into my CV but he really made it feel conversational and I think I was able to get a good insight into his leadership style. The onsite was really great. It seems like it's built just as much for the interviewee to decide as it is for the team to decide if there is a good match. Lots of chances to ask questions and felt more like a get to know you situation. The main technical questions built on the take home test so there where no surprises. I think this is my favorite interview process I have been though and I think the team, and they work they are doing is really cool.

Shout out to Kelly the recruiter who despite some challenges on my end, and having to pass along some bittersweet news was very communicative and helpful.

Excellent place to work and learn.

Senior Computer Vision Tools Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: More than competitive salary. Excellent health and perks package. Amazing people to work with. Hybrid (3 days work from home and 2 days at the office).

Cons: So far none, maybe I'm to bias cause I'm having a blast working for this company.

Pros: Your peers and immediate manager will most likely be exceptional. Everyone at that level really wants to succeed, and will go out of their way to get you what you need to feel successful in your role.

Cons: High priority is placed on sprint ceremonies and metrics. Burning down to zero is critical, if you don’t want your team to be flagged, so many teams simply undercommit to what they think they can accomplish. Equity and pay seemed generous at first. But in 16 months, equity share valuation has gone from $150 to $75 to now just over $20. That windfall profit you thought you were going to get in your offer letter is now worth a fraction of what it was—and that’s assuming they even make it to IPO. If that doesn’t happen in 2023-2024, they’ll need more cash, which will dilute even further. To save on cash, they’re now rolling out new pay location tiers, and bands. In the middle of the year, you can arbitrarily be worth 10% less to them than when you were hired, simply because of where you live.

Engineering • Current Employee

September 21, 2023

Pros: Lots of good people work here. The product is valuable and effective.

Cons: - At one point Leadership trusted that listening to and caring for their employees created a culture of collaboration + success. Now they mandate employees return to office regardless of the pushback or impact on their lives. This is AFTER they chose to hire across US, Latin America, and India... so people are commuting sometimes from far away into an office where they sit on video calls. - Jobs are being offshored and leaders are leaving or being asked to leave with no announcement made. - The CEO now regularly tells us that we are coming up short and need to work harder.
