Intense, but management will let you down
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
December 11, 2023
Pros: The company is really positioned well. The core flexible ontology concepts in Foundry and Gotham are incredible tools in an AI-driven world where a simple schema isn't enough.
There are also lots of great and really motivated people here. Conflict is rare, and the company manages to maintain a feeling of constant urgency. You're always working on the most important thing.
Cons: You always have more work than you can complete, so you never get to feel done.
Management is largely engineers that have been promoted up, but it ends up feeling like no one knows what they are doing at the management level. Management has a knack for not communicating, so you often get different stories and have trouble putting together the truth.
For a long time, folks were strung along with promised raises that never came.
Company policy changes almost on a dime. Everything is focused around constant change, and mature products are looked at as chores to get rid of; nothing gets to be finished.

Lots of opportunities, but you have to take initiative
Engineering Team Lead • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
August 27, 2015
Pros: * Access to problems at large organizations, which is rarely available to individuals early in their career.
* Working with a bunch of people who are dedicated to their craft and/or passionate about the mission.
* Insane amounts of autonomy and flexibility - trust, once earned, is nearly limitless.
Cons: * Hard for newcomers to navigate the organization. There are few titles/ladders, and it's not clear what opportunities are available.
* Occasional dependence on superhuman efforts. Occasionally, individuals need to carry weight that really should fall on a whole team of people.
