Pros

Very interesting and innovative work; cutthroat & market aggressive; hires arguably some of the greatest minds in the industry.

Cons

To the CEO/Executive Management, the employees are not much more than that. Zero care for the people that work very many more hours than one would expect. Consequently, GNS has lost or pushed out a large number of extremely talented staff, and the current employees suffer the retention blow. People put their heart and soul into their work only to be discouraged because they weren’t set up for success in the first place. There is an obvious but passive toxicity that is utterly baffling. Not a start up, should have some organizational structure, and there has been blatant and demeaning public shaming and demotion of staff by way of “Org changes” - execs should invest more time in their people and less time trying to figure out “the messaging” that covers up their obvious disregard for human decency. It’s actually somewhat amusing that someone with such great academic achievement and business expertise can’t figure out how his arrogance is impacting his company efficiency. As a note, I left on my own accord and still have anxiety thinking about that place. I learned a lot though, in more ways than one.

Thank you for your input. As a point of clarity, we have no positions with the title Business Analyst, but based on your comments, it’s always good to remember that a dynamic startup environment is very fluid, and reorganizations can be part of that. As a management team we do care for our employees and that manifests itself in many ways such as unlimited PTO, 17 Paid holidays and excellent benefits. We do make an effort to ensure our employees balance their home and work life. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Amazing people, invest in their employees, amazing benefits, unlimited PTO, good work life balance. A lot of negative reviews about the CEO but I believe he is misunderstood and has given everything to this company - lives and breathes it. The company has been here before AI was even a recognized in the industry, and they have had to pivot throughout their time a lot to fit the ever changing environment/market of AI. It is amazing technology with some of the smartest minds in the industry. Met a lot of great people throughout my time here. You will learn a lot about the industry, and since it is a smaller company, have a lot of opportunity to work with higher-ups both internally and externally, which is great exposure if you are young in your career.

Cons

Other people may have strong opinions, but I do not have any cons and left just to gain further experience in a new type of market.
