Pros

- World class team of engineers and AI researchers, I don't think there are many groups in the world which can rival the level of competence in speech and NLP here - Fun offsites, opportunities to travel - Can be a pro or a con depending on how you work, team is very international so a lot of the work is done asynchronously. I personally enjoy agency over my time but this might not be for everyone. - Tough but achievable deadlines - pushes the team to get better

Cons

- Mentioned before, independence means that it might be hard to get mentorship for those used to working synchronously with teams - Tight deadlines sometimes means long days and late nights

Pros

Working at AssemblyAI is highly rewarding and exciting. Voice AI research and adoption is developing rapidly, with leaders in the market pushing advancements on a weekly basis. Every week presents a new challenge and employees are given autonomy to make an impact and are rewarded when they do so. If you're looking for a challenge and want to make an impact on the frontlines of AI, this is definitely the place. Our models have been market-leading for the last 3 years and our research and engineering team is constantly improving them at impressive speed. People here are genuinely great to work with, intellectual, collaborative, and eager to make an impact. Everyone wants to win and be part of building the best Voice AI company in the market. Leadership hierarchy has flattened over the last two years which has allowed for more transparency and better communication across teams. Feedback loops have improved. There's a lot you can accomplish here.

Cons

It can be a grind because the whole market is moving so fast. The bar is high for good reason.

Pros

Fantastic place to work: -flexible -super flat culture -really smart people -great pay from an equity and cash perspective -a lot of room to grow from equity and cash perspective -fantastic benefits -AI business -awesome and relatable CEO -fun to work here

Cons

to be honest i don't really have any. i'm happy and get a lot of inbound. i say no to all of it because it's a great job. a lot of great and long tenured employees here feel the same if you're reading reviews about the business... i'd just be wary of the negative comments. alotta the negative stuff is from ppl who have left the business or been managed out. if you're quick and good at your job this place is awesome to work.
