Pros

Lots of great coworkers, though with the company's volatility and struggles to get market traction the past couple years, many are leaving

Kontras

The CEO and COO have big egos and are headstrong even when they are totally wrong about product or business direction. They aren't good at listening or giving employees forewarning of changes

Pros

- Exciting company that works with nearly every vertical to deliver high-quality training data for new Machine Learning Initiatives. - Great benefits (health insurance, unlimited vacation, free lunch, kitchen, events) - Talented, driven colleagues - Friendly office environment - Lots of cute dogs to play with - Transparent management

Kontras

- The area surrounding the office can be a bit off-putting with instances of feces/needles in the street but if you want to be in downtown San Francisco, this is sadly the norm and being 2 blocks from Powell bart is somewhat worth it.

Pros

I believe Figure Eight is truly a leader in AI/machine learning space. It is exciting to watch where we are going and hear about the potential we have. Compared to other companies I have worked for, I personally feel the trust and transparency have been a huge positive factor for me. In addition, the company has invested in my growth and given me opportunities I feel lucky to have had. I have been able to expand my background more in the 8 months I've been here than ever before in my career. I am excited to go to work in the morning and I enjoy being around my coworkers. It is a positive work environment where my ideas and opinions are valued and welcomed. I highly recommend this company and can honestly say the best is yet to come!

Kontras

The only cons I can say align with any startup/tech/SaaS company that I have worked for. There is an amount of uncertainty of the future when you work for these kinds of companies as it is a lot of trial and error, changes and adaption, and restructures. For me, these can also be positives though since I am not one who thrives in a monotonous work environment.
