Pros

Amazing engineering and coworkers from around the world.

Cons

CEO and upper management is shady and they don't care about the core product at all. No career opportunities and no manager interactions. The CEO is a loose canon that doesn't care about anyone unless if you're working on what he's most interested in at the the moment. No career growth opportunities and HR is untrustworthy. Come here if you want to work on a Chat GPT wrapper that's nothing special and want your career to die. Nobody here knows what they want or how to build and ship good product.

Pros

Impressive client list, access to top AI tools for all, always something to do

Cons

Still a startup and typical tradeoffs with that including unclear communication channels and too many priorities. Can feel political with success sometimes relying on who you know.
