      Pros

      Some of the people are great. That's all I can think of.

      Cons

      This awful website, and this awful company, got a bunch of negative reviews removed. Super shady. But to summarize, management sucks (especially the CEO and former CPO, and the current leaders of Sales and "Growth" whatever that is). Terrible culture. Incompetent executive guidance or vision. A 10 year old AI company in the translation game that was way ahead of everyone else and made NO impact on the market. Pathetic.

      There's clearly a lot of frustration in this review, and we're not going to try to talk you out of it. You mentioned the people as a positive, and that's something that comes up consistently in feedback from across the company. If you'd like to share more with us directly, our People team is open to that conversation.

      Pros

      - team players, easy to find support when needed - one of the best internal tech stacks I’ve used - the $$

      Cons

      - no coffee until 8am - expensive parking near office - no SKO

      Love this. The internal tech stack getting a shoutout is especially fun to hear, our engineering and research teams put a lot into it. Noted on the coffee situation and the parking, both very real. As for SKO, it's something we've talked about internally and hope to bring back when the timing is right. Thanks for being part of the team.

      Pros

      There's a handful of hardworking people there that give their all and that go above and beyond, that are true problem solvers and these were the people that kept the company afloat.

      Cons

      The leadership team are incompetent. They don't know how to strategize or problem solve or make money. There were also a lot of teacher's pets because they did anything their told. Everyone is overworked and overwhelmed and underpaid. The company is already lean and they're still finding ways to trim the fat, soon there'll be nothing left. Also, if you're a customer or applicant reading this be sure to ask when the last time this company was profitable (the company is over 10 years old). Ask about the turnover rate here, so many quit after just being here for less than a month or two, one quit only after a week! Read what everybody else is saying about the company on Reddit or anywhere.

      The people on the team who give their all and run at hard problems, you're right about them, they're the heart of what we do. Workload and morale are things we take seriously, and if anyone wants to share more about what they're experiencing, our People team is open to that conversation directly.
