SoundHound Work Experiences

Good if you want to work for the underdog

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Smart and talented coworkers. Freedom to work on various projects and move within the company. Fast-moving projects, fast-growing company. Opportunity to learn a wide breadth of technologies and develop skills. The product is pretty cool; normal people use it. Fun people who organize events outside of work. Free lunch. Still a mostly informal workplace (slowly becoming more corporate).

Cons: Pay/benefits aren't competitive for the area. Lack of upper management transparency (direction, finances). Lack of internal employee resources (no anonymous tip/suggestions, understaffed HR). Problem employees are kept on. Interpersonal issues are swept under the rug.

Pros: Everyone is supportive and willing to lend help when needed. Interesting problems to work on. Regular code talks and research seminars are cool to attend and learn from. Overall, a great experience!

Cons: Working remotely meant less of a boundary between work and non-work hours. Many days I worked less than 8 hours, but also a decent amount of days where I worked until very late.
