CEO approval

Business Outlook

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
