Unequal Opportunity - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Allen Institute for AI

You can tell a lot about a company by how they treat their junior and support staff. At AI2, junior and nontechnical staff aren't always treated well: - Training and career advancement not provided on a consistent basis. - Admin staff are discouraged from advocating for themselves and are frequently mistreated by technical employees. - Pay is lower than industry average if you're not coming from a big-name company. Expect to negotiate aggressively. - Accommodations for personal or medical needs will be ignored or treated as an inconvenience if brought to the attention of HR and leadership. Most of these problems are at the management level, not the team level. The CEO is a major source of cultural issues. Many people are afraid to push back on him and HR is not empowered to protect employees against his whims. He likes to be "hands on," which means that he will involve himself in and question decisions made by people on every team at all levels of the organization. You should expect to have to earn his trust and fight for your autonomy on a regular basis.
