Anyone know anything about Hive AI? Im mostly focused on career progression, learning, and TC so Im willing to put in startup-level work. Anyone working there willing to answer questions? TC:190k
Avoid
Why?
Seattle or SF? swe? Dm me
have friends there. they say it is worse than not having a job (exaggerating). they have been looking to leave since their first week
What is so terrible that they rather be jobless than stay there?
According to them the fear of not finding something made them accept. they said they wished they waited it out, other roles needed more time. theres nothing I can tell you about them that isnt already somewhere online
Hey OP: how was the interview? Did you get offer ?
Toxic work culture and technical debt. CTO definitely acts like he knows more than he does which keeps infrastructure from actually keeping up with the times. CEO is very temperamental and has just rage fired people if he wasn’t happy with a result. The churn on my team is insane. My most senior engineer has only been here 2 years.
Good for career progression, learning, and TC is solid for a startup. The people commenting above, their dream company is FAANG where they can just rest-and-vest so I'd take it with a grain of salt. You can easily work here for 1 year and get a shit ton out of it in terms of learning + resume + experience before you leave to another company.
Im really curious what team ^ is on. I can only think of one team with a manager that I’ve heard actually mentors new grads. The rest either have no manager or worse an incompetent one. So your direct report becomes the CTO. And about “easily working here for 1 year”, I’ve seen one person get fired in less than 4 months, another at 6 months. One does not “easily” work here. I found myself towards the end bored but also stressed. In the end I quit because I felt like I wasn’t learning anything nor getting to build anything new after the first 3 months. There are easier ways to earn and learn more than this place, even in this economy.
Take a look at my experience: https://www.teamblind.com/post/7W1NC4Xu
Interviewed there a few years ago for a software engineering position. CTO didn’t seem particularly technical, and was pretty arrogant. Compensation package sucked, company is probably too old to be considered a startup anymore
