Pros

Salary is given on time but then again it comes on the 1st of next month and sometimes 2nd too.

Cons

They hired in bunch in the last 1 year because they needed engineering bandwidth and now that they are done they are just firing everyone in the team. Both the CEO and CTO are narcissists without any knowhow of how to work with managers. They want to micromanage everything!! There are few old timers who will say yes to everyone and blow the founders ego and that's how they are surviving. They offered ESOP's to everyone when they hired them and obviously lied through their teeth. They are firing people because they are going on holidays. They have recently fired someone who just applied for a week long holiday. It's so bad that it's hilarious.

​We pay our salaries on 1st of every month without fail.​Also to clarify, we have only let go of contractors or temporary employees (FTCs) and not full-time employees (FTEs). The use of FTCs allows us to bring in specialized expertise for specific projects or initiatives on a temporary basis, rather than committing to a full-time hire. It is important to note that we are actively hiring and have onboarded many new engineers in the last few months. However, it is not uncommon for any company to occasionally let go of employees for performance reasons, including contractors. It is important to ensure that we have a high-performing team in order to continue delivering high-quality products and services to our customers.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Most of the people are pleasant to work with.

Cons

There are a lot of AI hiring platforms in the space. Most of the team is in India and causes delays in communication.
