Pros

Some nice people work/worked there.

Cons

Do your due diligence before leaving your stable job or saying no to other job opportunities! Find people on LinkedIn that used to work at Holistic AI and ask about their experience and honest opinion. I was part of a new team to sell to the enterprise. We were highly productive, and from week one, we were making appointments with enterprise businesses AND running discovery calls whilst onboarding! Three weeks in, on a Friday afternoon, the founders called all 4 of us and told us "they were going in a different direction" in 90-second calls and fired the whole team! No other explanations were given. Naturally, I was shocked, so I asked for a proper explanation and got nothing. So I insisted, and one of the founders, with a reputation for being very short-tempered, said he didn't even have to meet with me and was doing so as a professional curtsy! After the dust settled, we had other x-employees reach out to us to say they had similar experiences across all teams, including engineering. From people that are still there, I heard they are hiring for the same roles they just fired all of us from! What was the point of hiring us and firing us in 3 weeks?! We still don't know. About the founders: Both were PhD students with zero previous experience in running a company. One is passive and keeps his head down. The other cannot hear feedback - or even gently worded constructive criticism. He will end the conversation and walks out on you.

Holistic AI offers an inspiring and dynamic work environment, especially as we delve into the rapid evolutions within the field of AI. Embracing a growth-oriented mindset, my collaboration with the team has illuminated the immense potential and promising direction that the company is charting. With the guidance of both technological and AI visionaries, complemented by a touch of philosophy and rigorous ethical AI assessments, this enterprise is undeniably shaping the path forward in the realm of tomorrow.

Cons

I can't think of any drawbacks at the moment. I certainly believe that every startup involves significant risk, but I'm currently observing the remarkable expansion of this company and foresee nothing but upward progress.

Pros

Great technology with some good customers and very bright people very interesting work.

Cons

Very quickly hire and fire at a whim you can be a star one day and fired the next and have no idea as to why. You are working with someone then the are gone. They let go a lot of people with first 90 days if you have a stable job not worth the risk.
