Pros

The scheduling was flexible and there were some kind people on my team that I genuinely enjoyed working with which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1.

Cons

First off, management has several issues and they never seem to be addressed despite all of the surveys employees are asked to answer. Communication is honestly the worst I've ever seen at any job I've been at. If you need help during a project, you'd be better off figuring it out on your own because you will receive answers only hours later if at all. Upper management is even worse. If you make a mistake of any kind, instead of addressing it in order to help improve, you'll just be removed from the project entirely so you won't even get the chance to know what you did wrong. The upper management won't tell you themselves and will send someone else to do their dirty work for them. Secondly, like many other reviews have mentioned, a lot of the higher reviews are fake. We've were even told as employees to go and leave more positive reviews which is a joke. So, please take all of the more positive reviews with a grain of salt. Lastly, you'll be let go with no warning, no lead up, nothing. I barely got more than a "oh well, sorry" kind of explanation and after I had already worked half of a shift. I know this is an AI company and I believe not all AI is bad, but here they'll replace you with AI without a second thought.
