Pros

) Smart people ) Make efforts to be fair and transparent ) As an introvert I like that the company has no social activities. Social activities go through an approval process after HR team quit twice ) Some people are swamped but many aren’t. You could easily take another job while working at this company if you manage your work well. The high attrition helps

Cons

) Promises to deliver on salary increases and a career plan over the last year have received no serious followthrough. You could be in limbo on a role for years with no guidance on what it takes to get promoted. It is constant talk and no action, and looks like bait and switch ) High attrition at all levels even by today’s standards make it difficult to deliver on a product ) Embarrassing deficiencies in the product ) Many perks promised - big and small - do not exist and haven’t for over a year. Company hasn’t bothered to update ) No career trajectory ) Low stock option grants relative to comps and no real sign that the valuation will increase ) No 401k match ) Company targeting below market comp and currently pays substantially below market ) Weak management team that means well but uses gauche tactics

Pros

friendly coworkers. great work life balance. if that's all you want this is a great place to work.

Cons

almost everyone straight from academia. the path to make a product is messy. the idea that we will solve hard AI is a joke. we apply ML techniques the same as the rest of the industry, and there are competitors with better hardware. we struggle to find customers and we struggle to meet demand because the robots don't work as well as they should. the company is getting really weird about evaluating employees internally.
