Pros

Silent Eight pays well and it hires some great minds. The product is pretty solid so stock compensation could be valuable. Fully remote with flexible work schedule (just get your work done on time).

Cons

Management is not trustworthy. In an all-hands meeting last month, they said nobody was being replaced, referring to some new job postings in cheap countries. Within 15 minutes of that meeting being over, they announced several people had been laid off. I survived another month before being let go. Several people have quit in the last few months because of how horrible the management is. This is nothing new for S8, management was terrible the whole time (I was employed for about 1.5 years). Tons of turnover at the upper level, the only constants are the founders. The company regularly ghosts prospective employees, I graded tests for multiple candidates who said they never heard back (or didn't hear back for months).

Pros

- Remote work and flexible hours - Brilliant colleagues; it is humbling to work alongside such talented and friendly people - Opportunities to work on innovative products in an interesting industry - The company's vision of "using AI to fight financial crime" is honorable and provides meaningful and fulfilling work

Cons

- Remote work at a global company means there aren't opportunities to directly collaborate with colleagues. It would be great if management could enable more in-person meetups. - As a small start-up the company pivots often, which means employees must be able to adapt to change easily
