Pros

- Great place for personal growth, especially if you’re interested in eventually moving into leadership or management. The engineering org is growing quickly, so you get to see a lot of that evolution up close, and there are plenty of chances to take ownership and prove yourself. - There are lots of opportunities to work on new product areas, some of which could end up being pretty important for the company and potentially the broader legal/AI space. - The company has real credibility in the legal industry, which gives the team access to enterprise customers and actual workflows. That makes the work feel more grounded in real problems, which is not always the case in AI application companies. - The culture is relatively relaxed compared to a lot of similar startups. It’s definitely not a 996-style environment, which can be a big plus depending on what you’re looking for. - There’s a good amount of autonomy, especially if you’re proactive and willing to figure things out.

Cons

- The relaxed culture can sometimes feel a little too relaxed. Given how fast the AI space is moving, I think there are areas where the company could benefit from more urgency. - Since the company is growing so quickly, some internal processes are still rough. That can be frustrating at times. - Some technical decisions can feel like they involve too many people, which occasionally leads to thrash or slower decision-making than necessary. - Leadership can feel a bit top-down and reactive at times. More proactive planning and clearer communication around priorities would go a long way.

Pros

- Clear leader in legal AI and still accelerating. Product capabilities keep compounding, with real first-mover moves across the board. Teams are also getting stronger globally, with founders personally flying out to key hiring locations to build them. - High engineering bar, and a culture genuinely driven by engineering excellence. Plenty of early engineers have stayed on or moved back into IC roles rather than management, which says a lot. - Large, high-impact projects with real end-to-end autonomy. Smaller companies can't invest in solutions that work at scale, since they don't have the usage scale to justify it. Bigger public companies already have these problems solved. - Genuinely good people to work with, which makes it easy to do good work and enjoy doing it.

Cons

Not the place if you want to coast or prefer a slow environment with consistent structure.

High autonomy, high expectations — and leadership that actually delivers

Pros

Harvey moves at a pace unlike anywhere I've worked. Expectations are high, velocity is relentless, and there's no coasting — but that's what makes it energizing. Everyone around you is operating at full speed, which pushes you to do your best work. What stands out most is the ownership model. You're not handed a narrow scope — you're trusted to own real problems from day one. That autonomy is rare. Leadership is refreshingly honest about the demands of the pace. They don't sugarcoat it, but they also don't just talk about improvements — they act on them. When employees raise concerns, you see actual changes, not promises deferred to next quarter. If you want a place to build fast, take ownership, and work alongside genuinely motivated people, Harvey is it. Just know what you're signing up for — this isn't a slow-paced environment, and that's by design.

Cons

Celebrations and wins can get lost in the pace — the team moves so fast that it's easy to skip acknowledging milestones before jumping to the next thing. Teams are lean, but this feels more like a byproduct of rapid growth than a structural choice; headcount is coming, just not fast enough to keep up with the pace yet. Professional development is a grey area. There are conversations happening and improvements on the horizon, but right now there isn't a clearly defined path or program to point to. On compensation: base pay is competitive, but merit increases tend to be incremental outside of promotions. Equity refresh grants are tied to performance ratings, and the criteria behind how those ratings translate into grants isn't fully transparent — which can make it hard to know what to aim for.
