AI focus, but leadership feels entirely disconnected from human
Pros
The company strongly promotes its AI capabilities, and they genuinely mean it. In my experience, we had fantastic, seemingly unlimited access to AI tokens. From my perspective, the company appears to be in a very healthy financial position.
Cons
It seems to me that the recent change in leadership has brought a primary focus on cost-cutting. Despite what appears to be strong overall financial health, I felt that budget allocations for roles and annual compensation increases were disappointingly low. When employees have voiced concerns regarding work-life balance, my impression was that leadership dismissed the feedback. The messaging felt like those who asked for better balance simply didn't have the right "mindset" for the company. Despite any claims of stability, I have observed employees being terminated abruptly. It is not uncommon for a colleague you were working with in the morning to be gone by the evening. While employees joke about it, my impression is that there is a genuine underlying fear that job security is entirely arbitrary and depends solely on leadership's mood on any given day. In my experience, internal surveys do not feel like a safe space for honest feedback. I perceived that leadership viewed negative survey responses as an indicator that the employee was a poor cultural fit and should leave. I've noticed what seems to be a high turnover rate, and my impression is that the company is having a tough time hiring replacements as a result. I personally felt nudged by management to leave a positive review here, which makes me question the authenticity of some of the recent high ratings. Advise to people considering joining this, only as the last option.
