Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
Phone interview has 4 parts, only accomplished 2 parts, I guess I will fail with this. Phone interview has 4 parts, only accomplished 2 parts, I guess I will fail with this.

Pros: Perplexity and the team building the product are an amazing group. There's a great deal of support from management and the team. And, like any startup, there are quick pivots, but being surrounded by a supportive, smart team makes the pivots easier and the work more fun.
Cons: I don't have any cons about the company. Based on my experience, Perplexity could teach a master class on onboarding remote workers and building teams.
