Scale AI Work Experiences
- 5.0On the riseEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CAMarch 3, 2020Pros: Lots of growth. Company does everything quickly like growing. I have a lot of responsibility and I think most people do too. Great impact. Really smart but also nice coworkers. No bs culture. People are intellectually honest. People work very hard (I work around 50 hours a week) but it is easy to work from home or take time off if I need to. Really nice office, great food and benefits.Cons: Typical engineering pains for a high growth company. Some people overreact or are too emotional. For a lot of people here, Scale is their first job.
