Neural Concept Reviews

The company markets itself as a high-trust, transparent environment. My experience did not match this. - When I resigned, I was asked to delay my resignation by one day while management explored an internal opportunity. The next day I was told the opportunity did not exist. This added a full month to my notice period. - Exercising my ESOP was a contentious multi-month process. I was given inconsistent information in what I cannot describe as anything but an attempt to make me miss deadlines, pressured, initially told I could not exercise options at all based on a clause a lawyer later flagged as unenforceable under Swiss law (the fact I had left of my own volition), then confronted with the prospect of legal action. I am aware of other former employees who described similar experiences, I was one of the very few who was actually able to exercise their ESOP. - References given by two senior colleagues to a prospective employer resulted in a rescinded offer after a successful 5+ stage interview process. - Abysmal software engineering practices relative to the quality of the ML/DS work. The entire software used to be a CLI tool and it lacked CI for approximately three years. Advice to management: Align the offboarding experience with the values stated during recruitment and employment.

HR is messy. Untrustworthy at best and borderline fraudulent at worst. Below market salary. Salary negotiation often leads to promises but then they don’t follow up. Lots of unaddressed conflicts of interest between sales and technical delivery teams. Incompetent middle management, especially a few individuals who are at high positions only through personal relationships with leadership instead of merit. Lots of flashy MBA types who talk a lot and do little are getting hired and put in senior positions. Forget about having a personal life if you’re an application engineer. Just delivering projects on time will eat into your personal time on a regular basis.
