Low pay, little to no growth - werkgeversreview Remote Menu Curator/Food Specialist bij FoodStyles

It had a wonderful working culture, they were willing to pay us to train in AI-related competencies.

It was all a lie. It was essentially a hint that there was no more work needed on out part (ML was trained) and the funds were running out. They laid off around 80-85% of their staff. They didn't even have the decency to warn us ahead of time to look for jobs. They gathered us all in a meeting told us who would stay and who would go while reading from some chatgpt script. No concern shown even after more than 5 years together. For context, I never said this aloud while I was working there but there had to be some red flags when I realized that this 'company' has been developing an app that took more than 4 years to launch ( soft launch / beta testing). Even as I write this, the app, has not been hard-launched or done anything meaningful that Google AI mode or any LLM with an agent mode can't already do.

Great people and company culture

Contractor based, so no benefits aside from the hourly rate
