Pros

SoundHound's voice recognition technology boasts better accuracy than Siri, Google Now, Cortana, and Alexa; soccer every Wednesday; great work/life balance; moving to new projects/teams is encouraged

Cons

since it's still a private company SoundHound is not required to release detailed financial info, but it would be nice if they were a bit more transparent regarding valuation.

Pros

Family vibe, wonderful people, leading technology that makes a real difference, daily lunch, weekly happy hours, an awesome jam room, and very experienced people at the helm. SoundHound gives each employee the ability and options to carve out their place in the organization. There's room to grow in every team, and with such a strong position in the voice/NLU market, you know the lights will be on the following year.

Cons

No ping pong table, and no stage for monthly bands...YET.
