Pros
Mission-driven culture to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning is extremely compelling. The CEO and Head of HR are working really hard to create a culture of openness, support, and agency. Focusing on empowering employees, creating a culture of psychological safety, and a team-first ego-less workplace. There is a lot of autonomy and opportunity to make an impact. The company is noticeably diverse and inclusive (which is rare for a start-up of this size). The company is on a hockey-stick trajectory, which means huge career growth opportunities for every employee.
Cons
The downside of hockey-stick trajectory and the challenges of hiring in SF means hard work. Managers seem open to using outside vendors and resources to help bridge the gap and make sure employees don't burn out. Hiring is a priority.
