      Investment in AI projects overshadowed by layoffs and poor communication

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company invests in AI projects to upskill the engineers

      Cons

      In 2026, there was no salary adjustment and no bonus, and no communication as to why… none. All sales staff were laid off, and the on-site engineers are downgraded on their year end review for not bringing in new project leads.

      Smart colleagues and good autonomy, but weak upper management

      Principal software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hiring is well-gated, so you'll work with smart people. Projects are exclusively in finance so it's a great place to gain exposure in that industry. You operate with a good amount of autonomy.

      Cons

      It's a consulting company, so engineers are only valuable if they're billable. That means your success is tied to someone else's ability to secure a pipeline of work for you, or your own ability to upsell at your engagement - which may or may not be up to you no matter what you do. There isn't a dedicated sales team at Lab, so this can get spotty. Upper management's presence is felt in seasons - non-existant for months at a time, all over everything the next. They were nowhere to be found as AI got rolled out massively in 2026 and we got caught without a strategy and action plan - either for leveraging internally or for pivoting our model.
