Pros

Deepgram has a great product with great market share and great finances. They are well positioned to continue to dominate the voice market, the product really works and the tech is strong. Many ICs are some of the smartest people you will ever meet and there are many wonderful people that contribute to a strong culture despite leadership.

Cons

Nepotism, sexism, and racism are quite deeply ingrained in the company culture meaning some people are given high titles and praise while you pulling their weight, while others work constantly and very effectively only to see little success. The people and the loyalty they feel to the company and each other is the company's greatest asset and yet leadership does not recognize this. Many people feel undervalued and unappreciated despite contributing to major deals, working around the clock, or being the hero on a major project. Many people have developed serious health issues due to the stress of working for Deepgram.
