AI Frontier Lab; High Intensity Culture; Rewards High Performance - Software Engineer HeyGen Employee Review

- Lots of winning. - Hard feedback is always listened to, and a good number of times actually followed through and implemented. - No company is perfect, and there are always areas of improvement. But certainly those areas aren't the ones being mentioned here on glassdoor in the 'cons'. If you are a serious person interested in winning, you should actually take the 'cons' that people are complaining about here as signs of validation that HeyGen is doing something right. You should want to go somewhere brutally intense. You should want to go somewhere where things move so fast it can be hard to keep up. You should want to go somewhere where people are working 9/9/5 + weekends. Otherwise, there is no chance the team will win. If this is not you, that's ok too. There are tons of lifestyle jobs out there that are a better fit.

- Poor job of hiring in the past, as evidenced by some of the salty glassdoor reviews you can see below. We are improving in this area though. - I think some of the reviews here mentioning poor transparency around career growth is a valid point of feedback. But i'd also add that this is extremely team dependent and a middle management issue. Not an executive management issue. Just do your due diligence before joining.

The people are what make it. Everyone around me actually cares not in a corporate "we're a family" way, but in a "we're building something incredible and I can't believe we're actually doing this" way. The company is growing extremely fast that you're constantly getting exposure to things you wouldn't touch at a bigger company. I've taken on challenges here that would've taken years to get to at my previous jobs. If you're the kind of person who gets fired up by hard problems, you'll love it here. If you want to catapult your skills and career to the next level FAST, this is the place for you.

The pace is a lot. Things move fast and priorities shift. If you're used to well-defined processes and clear lanes, the ambiguity can be uncomfortable. It's definitely not a clock-in clock-out kind of place. You have to be comfortable figuring things out as you go.
