Think twice before considering joining this dumpster fire of a company: 1. Every statement from leadership is a lie to make things sound good or to keep clients from leaving for competitors, all while forcing employees to work ungodly hours. While there is no formal requirement, you’re expected to stay up late on most days trying to get work done (because of the sheer amount of work to do) and replying on Slack just to update middle management while they sit back and do nothing. The company would rather use you and throw you out like a tissue instead of fostering a healthy work culture. 2. The executive leadership is completely broken from the top down. The CEO acts like an IC instead of leading the company, is completely antisocial, and only wants to be surrounded by "yes" people where disagreements are not tolerated and it is strictly his way or the highway. Right alongside him, the spineless Director of Human Data does 0 work and fires people for no reason while trying to act cool with everyone. This management layer has no idea where the company is going. Their only goal is revenue targets, and their only strategy is throwing FDEs, TPMs, and money at problems like headless chickens while remaining completely disengaged. 3. Meanwhile, FDEs are treated like slaves by MDs who know nothing about the industry, and promotions and titles are given out like raffle cards to inexperienced people who were just in the right place at the right time. Alignerr services is a disaster. It is severely understaffed yet you will be expected to do the work of three people simply because management cannot handle their own basic responsibilities. Management disappears until a project is actively failing, then shows up demanding everyone cut corners to force out garbage data just to log revenue for the month. On top of that, the platform itself is held together with gum and toothpicks, constantly breaking, yet management expects flawless execution. When you finish a project and do a good job, there is zero recognition, just more work dumped on your plate. If you make any mistake, you will feel like your job is on the line or you’ll be treated poorly for the mistake. This company will never give you job security and they will throw you out on a moment notice.

- CEO seems willing and eager to cull wherever possible. There is no job/psychological safety, regardless of your rank. - C-Suite is brutal/tone deaf overall. - No matter how talented you are and how exciting they make the job seem, if your job becomes obsolete, you're gone. I watched so many extremely talented folks leave and get let go during my time with the company. - Upper management treats AI training workforce like factory workers, and unfortunately their employees are treated that way as well. No human empathy. Even the HR team is stretched extremely thin because the ops team was seen as no longer needed. - Very male-forward. - Strong desire to return to office. - You must be willing to do whatever it takes to keep your job, even at the expense of others and yourself. - Constant iterations on SOPs. Coming around the same mountain over and over again partly because of high turnover.
