Deep Render Reviews

- Working at the forefront of learned image and video compression technology. - You are always surrounded by very talented and friendly people who are always willing to be a sounding board for ideas (often regardless of what team they’re in!). - Founders often keep the rest of the company in-the-loop about business decisions and long-term plans. This makes you feel more attuned to the impact your work can have, and often serves as good motivation for your projects. Moreover, the founders are very open to any questions you might have about the company and its future directions. - A very relaxed and flexible WFH policy. - There is cultural diversity among the employees. - Company socials are regularly scheduled and can serve as nice ways to bond with people from other teams.

- I really enjoy the challenge of Deep Render's research, which involves answering some really deep questions. This requires the researchers to constantly come up with their own creative ideas, rather than just running a ton of architecture ablations. - I also like that the co-founders have a real in-depth understanding of the technical questions (which was first demonstrated to me in the final-stage interview). This means that communication with management is easy, and there's no barrier of understanding. - The work rarely involves crunch, which is very important to me. - There is a real feeling of focus. We discuss & identify problems, come up with possible solutions and create work packages around these. Results have to be properly established with A/B-tests. - The team is absolutely great. There is nobody who I would say is not really good at what they do. Everybody is friendly and a joy to be around. - The company is committed to passing on its success to their employees (equity programme, salary increases). - The management has huge ambitions, and acts on them accordingly. - Our results are constantly improving, which is always more fun than being stuck. I left my job in academia (which I also really enjoyed) for this, and I haven't regretted it a bit so far.
