Cons
- Low ball salary, the recruiter will low ball and make you feel like they are doing a favor to even give you an offer, I guess it's the lowest paying startup in the bay area in AI, 130-150k for engineers with 4+ YOE. They pay under market, so don't join unless you are desperate. Check H1B data online for their low base salary.
- The recruiter will take you for granted and it's the worst experience to make employees feel unwanted.
- Terrible work pressure, expect 10+ hrs per day, with little or less equity reward, and low base.
- No bonus, stock options are minimum, and will not amount to anything substantial, even if they exit
- Employees don't have any upside, even after getting overworked.
