Scale AI

• A lot of growth opportunities and far more scope or high-leverage work to go around than there are engineers.
• Given a lot of autonomy to define your role, and you can mix engineering, PM, and EM skillsets easily.
• Can set boundaries pretty easily because there's always a lot going on, but if you're very intentional about time management and what you take on, then you can focus on the important stuff.
• Company is growing exceptionally quickly and pays well.

• Not a lot of mentorship or structure provided for engineers early in their career
• Not enough engineering managers; they exist in every org for a reason. Having someone to push back and prioritize requests from ops would make the product much simpler and life a lot easier.

Add more structure via middle management, which is important for career growth, prioritization of tasks, and reliability.
