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

New leadership has taken initiative to cut down on inefficiencies throughout the company. It's exciting to see how our product is constantly evolving and remaining competitive in the market. I really appreciate the fact that hard work is rewarded and acknowledged.

Cons

There was an issue of over-hiring in the past and it was sad to see people leave because of it, however, now that the management has shifted, you can see it won't happen again and that they are looking at the bigger picture overall.
