Pluspunten

* Sometimes there can be information to learn about speech processing. * Codebase has decent community presence.

Minpunten

* Founder and CEO is arrogant and there is no transparency. * Long working hours, interviews are held towards the end of the working day. * CEO assigns more work than it is possible to do. * Asked to mis-treat candidates. I felt bad about it during my 1 year of working here. * Equity is only paper money as company does not have a proper valuation yet. * Projects are very boring as most are web API fixes.

Pluspunten

It's an early stage startup. You do real work and learn a lot. I didn't know how difficult picovoice products or voice ai in general. the team is smart, work really hard and funny. it was great to be part of the team. I'm rooting for picovoice.

Minpunten

It's an early stage startup. The expectations are high and people somehow deliver. It's hard to keep up and not to have imposter syndrome. I always wanted to see investment banking and startup before graduation. Although one of the alums told "if you expect work-life balance, don't go to a startup or investment banking" I thought i was gonna play foosball at startup and party at IB internships. Hollywood kept failing me.
