Best job of my life so far!
Nov 2, 2022 - CEO-Founder in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros

Collaborate with some of the smartest and driven people I've ever met. Work is fun and engaging. Work in a dynamic, growing field. Distributed team spread across the world. Flexible schedule and bias towards async communication.
Cons
Pay is lower than FANG, but it's still a growing startup!
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
If you like to be left alone this is the place for you. No one will ask you to do 1:1 or care what you do. Or even ask what you do. If you have a strong following on twitter or LinkedIn you are in .
Cons
They have no product to sell. All of their revenue is through partners who are desperate to attach their names to the brand. They have no product. The company sells services to large enterprises who might need help with their free downloaded model. It’s not a business model that will life up to its valuation. The cofounders do not communicate with their team, set goals, they just make outlandish predictions about the future with no real plan to get there.

Pros
You get to work on cutting edge ML technology.
Cons
Incredibly toxic hustle culture. Decentralized work = isolation + lack of support. Doesn't practice what it preaches and lacks vision. Dev teams had virtually no plan for future work which caused lots of stress and uncertainty.

An exhilarating and fast-paced environment
Aug 16, 2022 - Software Engineer in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Very smart people - Trust is paramount - Autonomy is encouraged - Transparency - Working on a topic that is truly gonna shape the future almost everywhere
Cons
You really need to be self-driven, otherwise you'll be lost quickly. Not a con though if you are - if you're not you'd probably better look elsewhere.
Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You get to design your day around the work that *you* believe will be impactful to the business. That means that you get to focus on tasks that excite you and bring you energy all while working in an open-source environment to democratize AI. You'll also have the opportunity to work with a lot of self-taught, super smart folks.
Cons
No one at Hugging Face is going to tell you how exactly to spend your day, so you have to be self-driven and creative.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
