Pros

The job is very interesting most of the time, if you land good projects and have the initiative to take on challenging tasks.

Lots of opportunities for development.

Possibility of publishing papers at top NLP conferences.

Great atmosphere.

Brilliant engineers.

Good benefits.

Cons

Getting promoted is nearly impossible (there are certain rules, like limiting the number of people to be promoted, etc.). The salary increases, but not as much or as quickly as it should. Forcing work from the office three times a week after work from home during COVID had brought the company better results.

Advice to Management

If there is a system to grade employees, but then you limit the amount of people that can be graded well (because it implies promotion that is for only a few people), then it is not fair.

People that do exceptional work are graded as “average” just because of this system. And there are lots of very talented people in the AI team.

Don’t force people to work from the office if they perform better working from somewhere else.
