Supportive culture with manageable work-life balance. Not bad for an AI startup..
-
Collaborative culture. This is not one of those companies that have a Hunger Games-like culture where people try to out-compete each other in order to not get PIPed every quarter. People genuinely try to help each other out, and people communicate with one another.
-
WLB is manageable for the most part. All of the other AI startups are doing a 996. It is fast-paced and very busy here, and some teams/roles are more frantic than others. However, the management/leadership are conscious to not create a burn-and-churn environment, and are intentional about creating a great culture.
-
Actual AI researchers in founder/leadership positions with academia experience. They actually understand what is going on industry-wide in AI and it helps us stay ahead of trends.
- It's a startup where priorities change, resources are scarce, and things move fast, so prioritization is key.
- AI Training Data is a competitive space.
- There's always long-term uncertainty in the AI world as things change from week to week.
- Continue hiring the right leaders who know how to build a successful company and make the right decisions. They can make or break the company.
- Continue investing in your employees, and this includes making your best attempt at creating a great culture and keeping a sane WLB to keep employees for the long-term.

Snorkel AI Interview Experiences

Manager conversation, phone screen, virtual onsite. Virtual onsite: 2 coding, 1 design, 1 manager interview, 1 VP. I was able to take the interview over 2 days. After 1 week, HR responded that they are not going to offer.

The interview process was not quite the most optimal or mutually beneficial. All interviews had a "tricky" part to them, whether trying to validate the person or the skills. Few interviewers were quite young with only a few years of experience, and

It was very smooth and pretty fast. The hiring manager and interviewer were both great and made the experience as smooth as possible. The time from when I applied to receiving my offer was not too long.
