Pros

January AI is tackling one of the most important challenges we are all facing which is lifestyle preventable health issues. The company is working on a unique AI technology that helps users predict how their body reacts to food with a vision to expand even more to activity, sleep, stress and any more. The product targets a wider spectrum of customers including ones in health journey and ones that are just looking to optimize their nutrition and overall health based on the AI insights. With all the available "almost-real-time" data we can collect from wearables and sensors, there is a need for a product that takes all of that and help people navigate their health in a proactive / preventive approach. January AI is in the middle of revamping its internal technology relying on micro-services and event-driven architecture to be fully distributed, scalable and secure. This investment the company is putting in its technology is setting the stage for a happier engineering team that is building world class technology and digital products. The company is relentless in reshaping its AI and ML technology to be a market leader in a space that is growing and evolving extremely fast. I am very happy to be part of a company that is shaping the future of digital health leveraging all the exciting cutting edge technologies.

Cons

- January AI is a precision health TECH Startup. This environment is not for everyone. We are in a growth mode and that requires sometimes wearing multiple hats and readiness to take new challenges. - The company has historically leaned on a lot of contractors. But it is now focusing on growing its in-house team and hiring department leaders to scale the company.

Pros

I am empowered to find the best way to deliver against my responsibilities in the company. There is little micromanagement and great collaboration with my colleagues and boss (who hates being called boss and prefers colleague, which is amazing!) Everyone is willing to pitch in with their specific skillsets, experience, and knowledge to find solutions for challenging problems. Working at January, I am surrounded by "A" players, which helps to motivate me to bring my best self to work each and every day. As a start-up the benefits are incredible and honestly are competitive with some of the larger organizations I have worked. The biggest Pro for me is the fact that the work we are doing at January WILL improve the health and lives of millions of people, what more could someone ask for, I get to tangibly improve the lives and people and get paid while doing it!

Cons

In the current phase of the company, you will have to work through ambiguity and respond to high priority items at a moments notice.
