Pros

Open Source experience is helpful.

Cons

Bad management, subpar pay and no vision. All employees are forced to do marketing of the company via their personal social media handles. It is a marketing company trying hard to stay relevant in the guise of ML company.

Pros

- work on open source software - compensation

Cons

Hugging Face had the worst work environment I've ever worked in. - the culture of the company is "blaming first, talk later". - there is no teamwork, and people are afraid to ask anything. - firm hierarchy, stronger than in a corporation - terrible communication - a disastrous management team, completely lack of respect and soft skills I had a feedback session and I was told they were very happy with my work. Two weeks later, out of nowhere, they fired me (not even in person) for no reason. I had to talk with a therapist to get over it. I cannot recommend working for this company to anyone.

Pros

If you like to be left alone this is the place for you. No one will ask you to do 1:1 or care what you do. Or even ask what you do. If you have a strong following on twitter or LinkedIn you are in .

Cons

They have no product to sell. All of their revenue is through partners who are desperate to attach their names to the brand. They have no product. The company sells services to large enterprises who might need help with their free downloaded model. It’s not a business model that will life up to its valuation. The cofounders do not communicate with their team, set goals, they just make outlandish predictions about the future with no real plan to get there.
