Pros

Working on cutting-edge voice AI is genuinely exciting and intellectually rewarding. Customers are demanding, but solving their problems can be satisfying. The company has a strong reputation in the voice AI space and talented engineers on the core product side.

Cons

Forward Deployed Engineering is chaotic, with unclear leadership and rampant favoritism — some managers mainly hire friends/old colleagues and treat them differently. Work-life balance is nonexistent (60+ hours is the norm). Pay may look good upfront, but when compared to the stress, workload, and lack of bonuses/benefits, it’s below market. PR reviews are superficial, and decisions often happen behind closed doors. The culture is cult-like: if you’re not fully bought in, you won’t last. Managers are lacking business understanding.

Thank you for writing this out in the detail you did. Reading it, we are sorry the experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer has been what you describe. What you have written is a structured account of how the team, management, hours, and pay have failed to land for you. That is heavy to carry, and heavier to write out. If you are open to a conversation about what your experience has actually been, we would prioritize it. We appreciate the depth of this. ElevenLabs Talent Team

I feel lucky to be here!

Pros

I feel genuinely lucky to work here. The team is made up of incredibly smart, driven people operating at a very high level. We work with cutting-edge technology in a fast-paced environment that’s intense but never chaotic, thanks to strong organisation and clear processes. There's a real commitment to transparency and continuous improvement: open Slack channels encourage learning in public and async workflows are embraced. Leadership consistently seeks fairness, especially when it comes to designing thoughtful, competitive compensation packages. It's a culture that pushes you to grow while being supported by truly world-class teammates. There's a tremendous amount of flexibility around working hours, which is incredibly valuable as a working parent.

Cons

There are the expected growing pains that come with rapid scaling and a lean team but leadership is aware and actively investing in the People & Talent team to support sustainable growth.

Thank you for sharing this in such depth. Your "I feel lucky to be here" headline from a working parent, alongside notes on comp fairness, flexibility around hours, and the open Slack and async culture, is the kind of review that gives us something to live up to. Your advice on keeping the bar high to protect zero-ego ownership is what we want to keep at top of mind. Thank you for the warm review. ElevenLabs Talent Team

Thank you for the direct feedback. Great team, fast pace, revenue growing quickly - paired with the honest cons of high autonomy and hard work - are the kind of candor we value. Thank you again for the candid review. ElevenLabs Talent Team
