Pros

+ 10x product value proposition with customers adopting worldwide + Crush of inbound demand unlike anything I have seen + Kind, thoughtful CEO who moves fast and has a crazy big vision + AI and engineering brainiacs who build and ship product fast + A+ co-workers who are kind, humble, hard-working, and have a great sense of humor + Sales team is landing great brands and Fortune 500 customers regularly + Great office vibe. Typically together 4x/week and WFH 1x/week with flexibility. + Profitable

Cons

Growing pains associated with scaling up to serve customer demand. - internal go-to-market systems, analytics, data are a WIP - we're at capacity in our offices in LA, Palo Alto, and San Francisco so need to move to bigger offices - many functions including design, marketing, CS, ops are new and aren't built out - currently serving large European and JAPAC demand from California which makes time zone coverage tough

Pros

- Lots of winning. - Hard feedback is always listened to, and a good number of times actually followed through and implemented. - No company is perfect, and there are always areas of improvement. But certainly those areas aren't the ones being mentioned here on glassdoor in the 'cons'. If you are a serious person interested in winning, you should actually take the 'cons' that people are complaining about here as signs of validation that HeyGen is doing something right. You should want to go somewhere brutally intense. You should want to go somewhere where things move so fast it can be hard to keep up. You should want to go somewhere where people are working 9/9/5 + weekends. Otherwise, there is no chance the team will win. If this is not you, that's ok too. There are tons of lifestyle jobs out there that are a better fit.

Cons

- Poor job of hiring in the past, as evidenced by some of the salty glassdoor reviews you can see below. We are improving in this area though. - I think some of the reviews here mentioning poor transparency around career growth is a valid point of feedback. But i'd also add that this is extremely team dependent and a middle management issue. Not an executive management issue. Just do your due diligence before joining.
