Recently heard about this company and was curious about Blind community's thoughts? They just became unicorn status as of Series C a few weeks ago. Are they just a data labelling company or is there more to it?
Anecdotally the three new grads that I know who work there are all insanely talented. They all did quant research internships at Jane Street/DE Shaw and were top students from MIT/Berkeley.
Oh ok, that's good to know. I might be interviewing there soon so I'm just trying to get a feel for the company. Would you work there?
Alex was very good at USAMO and USACO, hired people he knows from that crowd. When you see that happening, you have to discount it a bit because people tend to overlook problems at a company run by their friend, or by "people like me". This goes for a number of companies that try really hard to hire from the math contest circle. They draw other people in from the network, but not because it's objectively better to work there.
They have some cool labeling tech but the founder is extremely arrogant.
Interesting...because he's a 22yr old founder with a unicorn or you have some personal experience?
Heard stories from other people, can confirm... BTW the tech is not that cool. Please don't fall for the deep learning hype, I did once upon a time and was disappointed.
