Pros

Opportunity to work with AI

Cons

CEO is all over the place and he can't stick with anything and has to constantly change everything. There is an absolute bro culture. Which seemingly stems from the CEO and his constant use of the word r***** (middle school language) There were constantly people saying "that's gay" and the head of engineering said he wouldn't go to a gay club because he would get "raped." You are constantly watched by the CEO in the office. If you leave around 5pm or 6pm he gets upset. Before I started working here I was truly excited and ready to devote a large number of hours to this company and its mission. However, after all of the above at the office, plus the company completely pivoting 2 weeks into my time there, I had to get out.

Hi! CEO here. * The comments you've heard are obviously completely unacceptable. I've had stern talks with the parties concerned, we've held an all hands, and I'm making sure it doesn't happen again. Regarding the rest of the feedback: * Re: the hours — we do work very hard, which we're open about during our interview process (it's also right here in our cultural values[1]: "We put extraordinary effort to build an extraordinary company"). I totally understand not everyone is up for the personal sacrifice, but I'm afraid that's what it takes for startups to succeed. * Re: the "pivot" — we made one such big change last year, and it's been a huge boon for the business. This too, I'm afraid, is the startup game — if you want something stable, startups may not be for you. [1]: https://www.notion.so/lindyai/Lindy-s-Culture-8f24be7f619a4e4aa7e93ba02d58cf4c?pvs=4

Pros

I’m no longer with the company but Lindy was more than just a workplace; it was a community where everyone felt invested in shared success. You could feel a sense of camaraderie and witness the direct impact of your efforts. For those seeking a workplace where their contributions truly matter, Lindy is the place to be. -I observed well-deserved promotions, and I truly felt those individuals earned them. -The CEO is definitely in the heart and soul of Lindy, steering employees towards success while ensuring each them felt valued and supported. -The AI industry comes with constant changes and Lindy's ability to ride the waves of change was great. It is a place where challenges were embraced and victories celebrated. -If you're looking for a dynamic environment where your ideas are valued, and personal/professional growth are guaranteed while still having fun?! Lindy is the perfect fit! I highly recommend it.

Cons

- too many side projects. It seemed like there were folks juggling a ton of side projects, and everything felt like it had to be done ASAP, which sometimes overshadowed the truly important priorities.
