Pros

Decent compensation Nice coworkers Beautiful office in Sunnyvale

Cons

Don’t touch this company with a bargepole. Stay away! The CEO fosters an extremely toxic culture. Is patronizing, plays favorites, publicly berates people and is the lousiest leader ever. Has a Jekyll and Hyde personality and is the laughing stock behind closed doors. The only reason she gets away with it is because the company is doing well financially. It’s a real shame because the mission and product is very compelling. I can’t wait to find another job and leave and a lot of my colleagues feel the same way. Don’t get lured by their compensation, do yourself a favor and stay away from Ceribell.

Pros

Smart, mission-driven colleagues. AI driven, disruptive technology. Growing and scaling company, with tremendous business upside potential.

Cons

A con for some, but a pro for others. Fast-paced, data driven, high performance environment. For those who want to be surrounded by incredibly talented people who deeply care about the mission, and are willing to work hard and collaboratively to make Ceribell successful.

Pros

Truly innovative product with real potential to completely change care paradigm forever. Benefits are solid, people are very smart, and a lot of employees genuinely care about the mission.

Cons

Day-to-day is constant crisis mode. Everyone is hair on fire, all the time, and a lot of it comes down to the CEO's management style built on chaos and whiplash. There’s no clear direction or strategy. It’s “throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks,” except you or your team is the wall. The executive turnover / resignations tells the story better than any internal memo ever will. Chief People Officer lasted a few months. Chief Business Officer lasted about a year. Several VPs and/or Heads of important functions have also turned over very quickly. That’s not “a few bad hires”. That’s a pattern. If your job requires dealing with the CEO regularly, you will be asked for the near-impossible, you will sprint nonstop, and when you inevitably can’t hit an ever-moving target, you’ll be blamed for it. If you’re more junior level and insulated from the top, it can be a decent place to work. Smart coworkers, good intentions, and real passion for the mission. But at the mid-levels and up, once you’re consistently exposed to the CEO and her enablers, engagement drops off a cliff and the job becomes miserable. The culture turns into survival. If you’re considering a Director + role here, do not. Stay far, far away.
