Strong growth, struggeling with understaffing and having high workload. Company is in transition from startup to corporate, still a lot of things to be optimized and support to built up

Great Company, Pay, Benefits

Machine learning engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is very competitive. RSUs vest quarterly. Benefits are great (not as good as Meta or Google but still great). Smart colleagues (engineering). Work-life balance is great.

Cons

Stock price dropped and so did morale. Leadership at the very top does not give IC's confidence. Poor sense of direction at a company-wide level.
