Pros

Great degree of ownership and flexibility, with very few barriers or red tape. I feel that I can solve really hard technical problems and have good links to the business and users to really see the impact my work is having. I'm given a great amount of flexibility with remote working and very few scheduled meetings It's very unique to be working in a company with a strong research component, both to see cutting edge releases but also to be able to work with tools/apis literally no on else in the world has

Cons

There is a high expectation to work hard and engineers will frequently work evenings/weekends. Nobody will force you to, but the culture is certainly there to do this, mainly as everyone really cares about what they're working on and want to see it succeed. As a startup there are clearly pieces of infrastructure that are still to be setup/built. This is great at times as I can work on things from first principles and really understand how they work, though there are also times I miss the efficiency of knowing a system is already in place with owners that I can just use, as you would see at a larger company

Thank you for the honesty - reviews like this are useful to receive. The ownership, remote flexibility, and the research component you named are specifics worth holding together. The high expectations on weekend work and the infrastructure gaps are real. We do not want to gloss over either, even paired with the pros that lead. If you would like to talk through any of this directly, we would welcome the conversation. Thank you for taking the time. ElevenLabs Talent Team

Pros

I love the whole vibe of the company, it’s fast paced but not in an insane way, but in a motivating way.

Cons

It’s contracted, would be nice to be benefited, but honestly overall, very happy.

Pros

High inbound volume, name carries weight with customers

Cons

Pay is below market and equity for GTM is basically nothing Sales is treated like a necessary evil, you feel it constantly Comp plans expect a never ending stream of hype that will fall apart at the first bump in the road Agents product is falling behind and models are commoditizing fast
