A good place to start your career
A good place to start your career
Work is exciting and meaningful. Challenging projects with a lot of opportunity for ownership. Advanced work in AI, machine learning, and computer vision areas.
Significantly low pay compared to the average software engineer intern in California.
Very heavy workload – except over time and long hours (or you will be looked down upon).
Chaotic environment with rapidly changing projects, expectations, and even people.
Very little company perks (no free lunches).
