Work & culture

Compensation

Public sources indicate a strong experimentation/hiring culture, but no reliable public compensation policy was found. A 2025 TechCrunch item noted a job ad to hire an AI agent for $15K/year, which is not employee compensation and should not be treated as a salary benchmark.
