Pros

Interesting technology and no shortage of engineering challenges. Lots of machine learning in the tech stack.

Cons

As other reviews have shared. the biggest issue was payroll. At one point in 2020 payroll was delayed for over a month, company-wide. To make things worse, management was mostly radio-silent on the status of things. The company has been around in some form or another for over a decade and carries a lot of technical debt. There was a focused effort to tackle this in the short time that I was there but the lack of capital for technology updates was really a hinderance.

Pros

* Incredibly talented people * Leading edge technologies and ways of working * Heavy focus on advanced AI throughout the system that WORKS * Excellent balance of innovation and R&D that actually makes it into meaningful production systems! The company is solving large, challenging and fun problems that benefit end users. * Multi-million dollar 2021 investment in latest hardware in both development and production. * This is a company that is not afraid to shed legacy baggage and debt. 2020 was certainly a bit tougher in this regard, NTENT came out into 2021 very strong, well funded and was able to offload a massive amount of legacy debt, replacing it with modern AI systems and the right mindset. * Agile and results focused ways of working - people's work gets to production! Some of the technical debt that was let go was some teams who appeared to be operating a "social club" type environment without a focus on completing meaningful work into production or an over focus on academic research that didn't make it into production or didn't work as needed/expected. * Good benefits. 401K matching is great. Good health care, generous PTO and 13 paid holidays a year. Very nice life balance.

Cons

Teams are a little small currently, but this is really excitement in growing out world class talent to solve game changing problems. A great problem to have!
