Pros

- This place is a dream for EPD if you care about the work you do having an impact, being used by millions - Company sits solidly in its class of A-tier AI startups - Company actually makes very solid revenue, while continue to trend up and to the right, despite fierce competition and a volatile market - Good comp/Equity, decent benefits for a startup - Small team size, high concentration of smart competent people

Cons

- People here work really hard, and some may find the fast paced environment difficult to keep up with - Being at respected AI company leaves tenured employees as targets for poaching to other companies

Pros

- Huge whitespace for self-motivated, ambitious people to run with ideas, ship, and test. - Culture that's very open to experimentation and testing new things. Also, leaders encourage it and are genuinely okay with failing, as long as we learn from it and try again. - High standards that raise the bar and accelerate personal growth. You’ll learn more in months here than in years elsewhere. - CEO is genuinely invested in the team, is transparent, and prefers growing people into bigger roles. - Free lunch and dinner. - Colleagues are all super smart, humble, and kind. - Company offsites

Cons

Very fast-paced with frequent changes, so it is not a great fit for people who are not flexible or comfortable with ambiguity.

Pros

- AI Frontier Lab on the cutting edge of AI Video. Very cool to be able to play with models before the public. - Cool projects that span across AI + Infra + Product - Rewards High performance with bonuses ($5K spot bonus) and upwards mobility (promotions in less than a year) - 4x in revenue since I joined (1 year ago)

Cons

- Expect to work a lot to keep up with the market. I work 60hrs a week minimum - Hard to work here if you are not passionate about AI Video. You have to keep up with people's AI Video passion. - A lot of secrecy around the underlying technology, very silo'ed information - 5 days in office
