Pros

Smart teammates, interesting mission, used to be fun

Cons

It’s honestly heartbreaking how fast things have gone downhill at Aitia. Last year we were crushing it — real sales momentum, great energy across teams, and a feeling that we were building something special. Now, we’ve got zero sales this year (10 months in!) and no clear plan for how to fix it. Since our former head of sales left, everything has unraveled. The 'big time' chairman (who the CEO said was going to save the company) quit — along with most of the Board — and it feels like nobody is steering the ship anymore. Communication from leadership is almost nonexistent. To top it off, we only got a partial 2023 bonus payment, more than a year late. After working through an intense year, that was a real slap in the face. Most people who are still here care deeply about the science and each other, but morale is at rock bottom. It’s painful to watch so many good people give their best while leadership fumbles every decision.

Pros

Amazing people, invest in their employees, amazing benefits, unlimited PTO, good work life balance. A lot of negative reviews about the CEO but I believe he is misunderstood and has given everything to this company - lives and breathes it. The company has been here before AI was even a recognized in the industry, and they have had to pivot throughout their time a lot to fit the ever changing environment/market of AI. It is amazing technology with some of the smartest minds in the industry. Met a lot of great people throughout my time here. You will learn a lot about the industry, and since it is a smaller company, have a lot of opportunity to work with higher-ups both internally and externally, which is great exposure if you are young in your career.

Cons

Other people may have strong opinions, but I do not have any cons and left just to gain further experience in a new type of market.
