Pros

you can submit as many questions as you like? flexible hours?

Cons

I spoke with Jason Dupree about being a contributor. Basically, my job was to stump the AI with content specific questions. He told me the project was long term. This was a lie. It ended after two weeks of me submitting questions. He said you could earn 50 dollars per question. This was a lie. The company didn't have even have a pay process set up. After submitting 17 questions and an invoice was produced, they went back and stated that they weren't accepting some questions. I am still waiting to be paid. I have completed work, and it has been 4 weeks. Do not work here in this role. Shiesty people

Pros

- Collaborative culture. This is not one of those companies that have a Hunger Games-like culture where people try to out-compete each other in order to not get PIPed every quarter. People genuinely try to help each other out, and people communicate with one another. - WLB is manageable for the most part. All of the other AI startups are doing a 996. It's fast-paced and very busy here, and some teams/roles are more frantic than others. However, the management/leadership are conscious to not create a burn-and-churn environment, and are intentional about creating a great culture. - Actual AI researchers in founder/leadership positions with academia experience. They actually understand what is going on industry-wide in AI and it helps us stay ahead of trends.

Cons

- It's a startup. Priorities change. Resources are scarce. Things move fast. Prioritization is key. - AI Training Data is a competitive space. - There's always long-term uncertainty in the AI world as things change from week to week.

Pros

Fast-paced environment at frontier of AI space. Incredible customer list. Really smart, kind, competitive people working their hardest to build something big. Flexible 3-days a week in-office policy which is rare for AI space. Generous benefits package. Actively hiring in lots of departments, feels like resources are coming to help relieve burden of current team who are underwater. The work is interesting, the people are smart and I think this will be a big year of growth for Snorkel.

Cons

Executive team is brand new, and surrounding a founding team that comes from academia and not other successful companies. Lots of growing pains over the last 12 months. Operational struggles and heavy attrition through all the change, but seems to be coming out on the other side with current business momentum. Leadership has a lot of work to do to make work-life balance better for some teams - though this isn't every team.
