      Cons

      They recently rebranded from Grid AI, so read the reviews on the previous company page on glassdoor as well. - The exec team/upper management seems to have no idea about product direction or how to monetize it and they keep firing people. - What I heard from the people who have been with the company long enough, they have fired like 40-50 people in the past 2 years. - If you join, consider this more as an internship rather than a full-time position, because your employment with the company will probably be less than a year. - The exec team/upper management micromanages and you can't disagree with them on anything. - Deadlines set by the managers are ridiculous and they don't seem to have realistic ideas/time-lines/standards about product development. - Saying things move at a fast-pace in a startup and its not for everyone is just a cover up for super toxic work culture. - Lots of burned out employees at the company. - People who are let go seem to be relieved and happy. - Also, people who are let go are made to sign some ridiculous non-compete where they can't work at literally any other company that does machine learning or ML-ops.

      We would not be where we are today without the contributions of all of the team members who have worked at Lightning AI. You gave your time, expertise, and passion to help build our company, and we thank you for that. Late last year, we decided to centralize our teams around our NYC, Palo Alto, and London hubs to address and improve many of the issues you mentioned, especially regarding folks burning out from having to work around the clock just to collaborate with their teammates. While it was a tough decision to make, it’s one that has positively impacted every aspect of our company, from work-life balance and collaboration to product development and project management. We continue to grow and evolve with your feedback in mind. We thank you for sharing and wish you all the best in your journey.
