Pros

Working at Lightning AI is nothing like a typical start, let alone a run-of-the-mill corporate role: it's fast-paced—breathtakingly so—and a testament to what a small group of talented people can accomplish. At Lightning, everyone is a domain expert, but also able and willing to branch into neighboring areas of expertise. Engineers spend as much time with users as does anyone on the product and design teams, such that each product update is trained squarely on the user. Updates are frequent and numerous too; Lightning has taken the adage, "always be shipping," to new heights. Yet colleagues are, by and large, kind and more than willing to help when called upon. Rarely does so much talent and kindness come together, but at Lightning, it does.

Cons

The speed of change—not just at Lightning, but of the entire AI industry—can be dizzying. Quick changes in direction and focus are common, and for some, bewildering. But that's part and parcel of startup culture.

Pros

Coworkers are all at the top of their game; smart, knowledgable, hardworking, but also personable and nice. The work itself is challenging and great for people who enjoy hard work and moving fast. It is a small team, so you are asked to bring all of yourself to the job, help others grow, and be open to growth yourself. As a result, you end up accomplishing some great things at the job, while your skill set grows for whatever comes next. Hybrid model for remote/office work allows for some flexibility.

Cons

Challenging work is indeed challenging, so there are stressful days and times when you may experience burnout. Management does try to protect you from burnout by providing you processes that make big tasks manageable and encouraging time off /recovery when needed.
