Pros
- One of the few profitable startups and the first profitable AI company on record - Very few direct competitors - Lots of large customers like Microsoft, eBay, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Cisco, Salesforce, Crunchbase, Hubspot, Adobe, Instapaper, and Onswipe, read the press releases for lots of candid information. - Business is growing rapidly. - Working with people who are passionate about Knowledge Graphs, machine learning, structured data and Artificial Intelligence - Free snacks and drinks, expense your lunches - Flexibility in hours and working remote - Great work life balance - Social activities - Lucrative stock options - Fully paid PPO Health plan with no paycheck deductions even for family coverage I filtered through about 300 companies before deciding to apply and join this one. Many had revenue growth issues, bad products, too much market competition, bad management layers, or were trying to grow employees too quickly leading to lower hiring standards. This is one of the few shining stars.
Kontras
It's a startup so it's not for everybody. Taking ownership, being self motivated, and making good decisions will help you excel in this environment.
