Glad you're having a positive experience with us. We do our best to foster collaboration and hire extraordinary people. Due to COVID, a few of our benefits have been put on hold. Rest assured, many of our benefits will return (along with new ones!) once things improve.

Pros

- Very strong technology base - Market potential is basically infinite is we keep gradually increasing our technology capabilities - Focused culture: strong technical / scientific grounding, but also deep understanding of importance to be customer-centric / market-driven when developing products - Strong leadership team, both experienced and agile

Cons

No major cons i can think of (beyond the obvious fact that when developing groundbreaking technology / new industries / new business models, success is of course contingent on some external elements and a bit of luck).

Pros

Humble culture. Everyone is excited about work. We are just starting from mostly research to prodcutionizing and as expected there are number of challenging problems to solve which touches distributed systems, AI, robots, UI and all other AI state-of-the-art algorithms/architecture Still learning in "productionzing". If you come from big companies you would expect things like perfect Dev/Ops, release process, dependecies on other team - OKR etc but I see we are still learning. I think it is still ok since we are not that old. Leaders are great. I can trust them that people are aware of the problems and very easy to talk to.

Cons

Not that big pay as big companies

We're so glad you are enjoying your time here and appreciate you calling out a lot of startups' growing pains. We are working hard every day to address them. We use OptionImpact and other benchmarking tools to set compensation for all of our positions, which ensures that the salaries and equity we offer compares well to other startups in Silicon Valley. FAANG companies usually offer higher salaries than startups at the expense of far less ownership and impact, and everyone needs to pick their path between lower growth at a big company versus higher growth in startup roles.
