Pros

Decent co-sharing workspace at their main office.

Cons

A horrible startup to work for. Expect super long hours and a 7-day work week. The company engages in unethical and potentially unlawful AI practices. Tons of complaints from customers on a regular basis which are ignored by Heygen's cofounders. The company is even rated F by the BBB. All the employees are forced to drink the company Kool Aid but this "rocketship" is about to crash land and everyone will be out of work in no time. I'm sorry to have ever joined this company. Don't make the same mistake as I did.

Pros

Only pro I could remember was that there was free food

Cons

There is terrible communication between team members and managers, and the expectations are super unrealistic. You have to work extreme hours and there's a reason why turnover is so high at this company. It feels like everyone is just chasing a number and there is no solid work culture.

Pros

- Free lunch and dinner if you stay late I guess

Cons

- Long hours - Unrealistic expectations (a project that was projected to take six months by a team of competent engineers was rammed through in 2 months by 2 engineers) - PRs are often approved by people who don't understand what the PRs are actually doing, so things break, a lot - Long hours are expected, I was often pulling 12-hour shifts - Toxic culture - Whole bunch of other stuff, go there at your own risk - Company makes AI slop
