Exceptional ICs, questionable leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Great events, hardworking culture, exceptional talent, especially for new grads. You will get insights into the AI industry and the direction of AI that will be great for your career, especially if you are young.

Cons

Inner circle around CEO and social clique runs the show. Definitely not a meritocracy. Coined phrase "clout-based decision making" (wtf?) Questionable leadership at the upper levels resulting in attrition, burned out coworkers, and brilliant minds being underutilized to churn out mindless features that ends up being throwaway work. Everyone is stretched thin and working long hours. I don't know a single engineer that works 40 hours a week. "Why not faster?"
