Pros

This company managed to group together the best engineers I have ever met. It is the place where I had the greatest professional development in my career. More than that, we really formed a group of close and personal friends. We meet quite often with our families, and I'm in close relationships even with people that already left the company. Product wise, the company is very solid. The apps are the money engine that allows the company to take bets. The bet is now on AI. It seems promising, but no one knows what the future holds.

Cons

AI technology made our technological advantage smaller. Complicated tasks that used to be very hard to do, are now relatively 'easy'. But I hope that the company's experience in this field will make us lead the market.

Pros

-you're at the forefront of the AI video generation space -new tasks, initiatives, and products features are introduced every day so always something fresh to work on -Puts the human first, lots of perks such as generous stipends, -US office has had the culture constantly built up - snacks, flexible hybrid days in office, comfortable seating, fun monthly events like bowling and Yankee games. We've outgrown a couple offices in the short time the NYC office has existed so rapid growth is encouraging -Media companies are generally fun (work hard, play hard) environments -Quarterly on sites where the leaders and team gets together for updates

Cons

-constant shifts in focuses for the revenue department/things to sell without any notice. AI video gen may look completely different on a weekly basis -release notes are practically nonexistent and people find out about new features/releases as they go -sometimes communications get lost in translation across regions or feel forced -B2C org historically, so most senior stakeholders don't have much knowledge of the B2B space

Pros

- the people are priceless - on the forefront of AI, you get to deal with really cool and visual stuff - great benefits, food, office parties, wellness packages - hybrid policy with a great WLB - cool offices in a great location in Midtown

Cons

The co-working space gets a bit crowded at times, but other than that not really.
