Pros

Figure Eight is by far the best company I have ever worked at. Their approach is the best of what most other companies have combined. I immediately felt at home and was able to use all my expertise and creativity easily. Office is a great place to work in, no construction noise and the offices and desks are more than ample. Figure Eight also cares about each employee's future and holds goals and values in high regard. Work from home Wednesdays if you want, flexible. Overall I was surprised and how mature the company is and feels like the future is bright. High standard of co-worker

Cons

Difficult post interview process and only 1 shower.

Thanks for your review and feedback. We will definitely be working on our recruiting and candidate experience. As for having only 1 shower, that is something we should talk about as a company. Anything is possible, but we need to make sure this is something we all want to work on.

Pros

- Exciting company that works with nearly every vertical to deliver high-quality training data for new Machine Learning Initiatives. - Great benefits (health insurance, unlimited vacation, free lunch, kitchen, events) - Talented, driven colleagues - Friendly office environment - Lots of cute dogs to play with - Transparent management

Cons

- The area surrounding the office can be a bit off-putting with instances of feces/needles in the street but if you want to be in downtown San Francisco, this is sadly the norm and being 2 blocks from Powell bart is somewhat worth it.

Pros

I believe Figure Eight is truly a leader in AI/machine learning space. It is exciting to watch where we are going and hear about the potential we have. Compared to other companies I have worked for, I personally feel the trust and transparency have been a huge positive factor for me. In addition, the company has invested in my growth and given me opportunities I feel lucky to have had. I have been able to expand my background more in the 8 months I've been here than ever before in my career. I am excited to go to work in the morning and I enjoy being around my coworkers. It is a positive work environment where my ideas and opinions are valued and welcomed. I highly recommend this company and can honestly say the best is yet to come!

Cons

The only cons I can say align with any startup/tech/SaaS company that I have worked for. There is an amount of uncertainty of the future when you work for these kinds of companies as it is a lot of trial and error, changes and adaption, and restructures. For me, these can also be positives though since I am not one who thrives in a monotonous work environment.
