Pros

AI company is great. Location wise very accessible, I got to travel to alot of countries, and people are great. My bosses are fantastics, very international feel.

Cons

The only part which irked me is that the politics and the constant need to reorg. Not ideal, and not precise, always changing and making people unease. Left not due to these issues, it's a great company, great opportunity, but just different aspiration, altogether. Go and try it.

Pros

They feed you two meals a day.

Cons

Expect extremely poor work-life balance and constant messages at all hours. The company reorganizes frequently, so roles, titles, and managers change constantly. I’ve had three of each in under a year. Onboarding and documentation are minimal, yet expectations are unrealistically high. Complex assignments are often given with 24-hour turnaround times, and managers regularly offload their responsibilities downward. Senior leadership prioritizes weekly reporting and status updates, so much of your time is spent producing decks instead of doing meaningful work. Internal communication is weak, mentorship is almost nonexistent, and the environment can feel isolating and high-pressure.
