Pluspunten

- Most of the team are great to work with. They are smart people who care about what they do and want to do the job well - The daily work is satisfying with good customers and a problem space within AI that is challenging - Work environment is flexible and the company has supported fully remote for many years even before COVID - People at the company genuinely want to make it better, they work hard and want it to succeed despite opposition

Minpunten

- Exec team is distrustful and suspicious of employees especially CEO Manu. Brian is COO even though he is listed as CEO on glassdoor - Lots of micro-management. There are hourly pings in slack if things aren't moving at the breakneck speed CEO wants. What he wants changes daily and contradicts itself - People are fired and disappear without warning. One day they are there the next they don't show up to a meeting and you have no idea why - The company values are used against people to validate harassment, long hours, and firing anyone who disagrees with the methods and direction of management. In particular 'craftsmanship' which was so misused, it became an inside joke - Scapegoating happens often. There has to be a villain: either a person or a whole team that is the problem with little accountability or ownership of the problem at the leadership level

Reactie van Labelbox

Thanks for the feedback - we’re happy to hear you found the work satisfying while recognizing the very hard problem we’re trying to solve within the industry. Yes, our team is fully distributed globally, so emails and slack messages may come in late into the night- as we encourage our team to work when they’re most creative and effective - and as a company which thrives on asynchronous communications, our team knows that no response is expected or required at night or on weekends. When people leave the team, either voluntarily or involuntarily, it’s either because this ultimately wasn’t the right fit for them, they weren’t meeting the high bar we set for ourselves, or have had ongoing performance issues. It’s company policy to not share details of departures with the entire company out of respect for each and every employee. We do take feedback seriously and follow up with action items from anonymous employee feedback. The founders are continually investing in their growth and leadership skills and realize no one is exempt from making mistakes and are always striving to grow and learn from our mistakes.

Strong peers at the IC level who are capable, thoughtful, and committed to doing good work

Minpunten

The biggest issue is leadership. In my experience, middle management and executive leadership create more friction than clarity. Projects often become slower and more complicated because of unclear direction, shifting priorities, and layers of process that do not appear to improve outcomes. There is a serious lack of strategic vision, especially around AI. The company talks about important opportunities, but the execution does not match the ambition. Much of the burden falls on deployed engineers and ICs, while leadership does not provide the clarity, ownership, or support needed to make the work successful. The culture also feels unhealthy. Work-life balance is poor, expectations are often unreasonable, and blame tends to move downward. Employees can feel disposable rather than valued, and leadership does not seem meaningfully concerned about churn or morale. I would strongly encourage anyone considering an offer to speak privately with current or former employees first. My experience has aligned closely with many of the negative reviews I read before joining.
