Pros

The technology work itself was interesting and I learned things. The product idea has actual potential.

Cons

• A clear inner circle existed and I was never part of it. • Decisions felt predetermined and fair opportunities were scarce. • Meetings often left me feeling ignored and shut out. • Real collaboration happened in spaces I was excluded from. • Constantly felt like an outsider looking in.

Pros

You will quickly learn how to survive in a highly stressful environment.

Cons

- Employees at HeyGen are driven into total exhaustion by deeply flawed leadership. - Everyone is buried under crushing workloads and constant overwhelm. - Daily work revolves around chaotic timelines and delivering under absurd, unreasonable deadlines. - Leadership demands endless output for extended hours without regard for limits. - Employees are treated like disposable machines, pushed, used, and drained for as much as possible.
