Anthropic has an employee rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars, based on 30 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have an excellent working experience there.
- It's a mission driven company working on pretty wild and exciting stuff. Expect interesting lunch-table conversations and a very motivated team.
- The vibe is unpretentious, transparent, and high-trust. The politics are very light for a company this big.
- The compensation, benefits, and perks are absurd. The equity donation matching program can more than double your total comp if you're donating a lot. Through a few different programs, you can expense quite a lot of personal wellness stuff, home office equipment, books/coaching, parking, etc. to the tune of >$15k/yr.
Cons
- It's a mission driven company working on pretty wild and exciting stuff. It's intense work, and can be stressful. Hours aren't crazy, but it's hard to get by on 40 or 45h/week in most jobs.
- It's growing very, very fast. Expect a lot of thrash.
- Supporting strong researchers with great agendas.
- Smart, enjoyable colleagues, some of whom care about AI safety.
Cons
- Flying by the seat of their pants: leadership is great at describing what seem like coherent plans, but they each come apart with time or confrontation with the real world.
- Many instances of poor-judgment that add up make it feel quite unfortunate that Anthropic's leadership is probably the most prominent force trying to prevent an AI catastrophe.
