Disorganized environment with poor leadership and low pay
Pros
Other than flexible working hours and flexible PTO, there are none.
Cons
- Recent leadership hires in the AI organization (including principal and VP of AI roles) appear disconnected from day‑to‑day work and lack the technical depth needed to guide the team. Decisions often feel driven by favoritism and internal politics rather than merit or demonstrated capability. - Promotions are not aligned with actual responsibilities. Even when employees consistently perform at the level of the role they’re applying for and often beyond it does not translate into advancement. - Performance evaluations feel subjective and inconsistent. Despite strong output, ratings are often marked as “meeting” or even “below expectations” without clear justification. - The company struggles with coordination, communication, and modern processes, with weak cross‑functional alignment and frequent knowledge‑hoarding; leadership also reversed an earlier verbal commitment to support my sponsorship, causing me to lose nearly two years of OPT eligibility. - Overall, the environment feels disorganized, unclear, and resistant to meaningful improvement. - They pay peanuts compared to the market and then the cost of living in the BocaRaton region.
