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

Those who make up the teams are good people - hardworking individuals. Great energy and just FUNLOVING

Cons

Those who make up the leadership team….I fear that they are keeping things from us. Or, People Ops is told to keep things back. Since the purge of the c-suite team, management - people ops have been inconsistent about being truthful. Not sure - why? See below…. 1. Two nice VPs left in as many weeks. Why? I don’t believe that they were causing problems which is what we were told. 2. Are we still a viable company? I thought Apple, Google, IBM or AWS was going to acquire us? Management really bragged about how these company’s wanted to buy our marketplace? Now silence….but rumors fly around. What is going on?
