Pros

BrightAI offers a good amount of work autonomy to the engineers and overall the company is attempting to solve interesting problems.

Cons

BrightAI has a work force that is heavily biased toward the back office and management (both upper and middle). Upper management likes to tout their transparency and titles held at previous big-tech employers, however, in practice their alignment, communication, and strategic decision making is continuously lackluster. It also would seem that a majority of the original employees and members of leadership have all worked together in the past roles - those within this 'good ole boys' club are often immune to any sort of criticism or feedback and those individuals not in this core group would too often be used as scapegoats.

Pros

The mission is really fantastic from the top down. It is really fun to be apart of a team that combines the new world of AI and IoT, with infrastructure that has been around for hundreds of years. It is really cool to actually see the impact we are making with our own eyes. Benefits and compensation and strong and it is clear that the leadership cares about the employees.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind, it has been fantastic thus far.
