Pros

- Lots of winning. - Hard feedback is always listened to, and a good number of times actually followed through and implemented. - No company is perfect, and there are always areas of improvement. But certainly those areas aren't the ones being mentioned here on glassdoor in the 'cons'. If you are a serious person interested in winning, you should actually take the 'cons' that people are complaining about here as signs of validation that HeyGen is doing something right. You should want to go somewhere brutally intense. You should want to go somewhere where things move so fast it can be hard to keep up. You should want to go somewhere where people are working 9/9/5 + weekends. Otherwise, there is no chance the team will win. If this is not you, that's ok too. There are tons of lifestyle jobs out there that are a better fit.

Cons

- Poor job of hiring in the past, as evidenced by some of the salty glassdoor reviews you can see below. We are improving in this area though. - I think some of the reviews here mentioning poor transparency around career growth is a valid point of feedback. But i'd also add that this is extremely team dependent and a middle management issue. Not an executive management issue. Just do your due diligence before joining.

Pros

Don't even bother looking for pros here. Working here has been such a terrible experience! If you're thinking of working here, don't!

Cons

HeyGen might just be one of the worst companies you could ever work for! The company is run by incompetent leadership and toxic management. Every decision they make is short-sighted, and they both treat employees as nothing more tools to be used. The company lacks structure; communication is terrible, expectations are vague, roles aren't clearly defined, and accountability is often avoided. Employees' work-life balance is unsustainable; we're assigned brutal workloads, forced to work long hours, and expected to meet unreasonable; demands all the time. They pay is pretty awful, and there aren't any opportunities for employees to advance. Unless that sounds like a great experience to you, I would suggest staying away from HeyGen at all cost!
