Pros

Smart and highly motivated peers. The energy, the camaraderie, and the commitment to building the best search products are some of the reasons I continue to enjoy my work at NTENT. The company has recently renewed its focus on their core search technology which is opening up more opportunities for employees. The office location in Carlsbad is awesome and has recently been expanded and remodeled – good working and “playing” environment.

Cons

Some days can be long, but I have found satisfaction even in the stressful days. Given the size and complexity of the problems we deal with, it's nearly impossible to avoid occasionally long days, but the office environment and nearby walking trails make the long days not so bad.

Pros

* Incredibly talented people * Leading edge technologies and ways of working * Heavy focus on advanced AI throughout the system that WORKS * Excellent balance of innovation and R&D that actually makes it into meaningful production systems! The company is solving large, challenging and fun problems that benefit end users. * Multi-million dollar 2021 investment in latest hardware in both development and production. * This is a company that is not afraid to shed legacy baggage and debt. 2020 was certainly a bit tougher in this regard, NTENT came out into 2021 very strong, well funded and was able to offload a massive amount of legacy debt, replacing it with modern AI systems and the right mindset. * Agile and results focused ways of working - people's work gets to production! Some of the technical debt that was let go was some teams who appeared to be operating a "social club" type environment without a focus on completing meaningful work into production or an over focus on academic research that didn't make it into production or didn't work as needed/expected. * Good benefits. 401K matching is great. Good health care, generous PTO and 13 paid holidays a year. Very nice life balance.

Cons

Teams are a little small currently, but this is really excitement in growing out world class talent to solve game changing problems. A great problem to have!
