Working on high-impact projects with very interesting intellectual challenges.
Everyone's working towards a culture of honesty and teamwork; we all make mistakes, but we try to call those out and figure out how to improve.
Sila is slowly developing a culture of naming our mistakes openly, but seeking to blame process instead of people wherever possible ... and then using that cold sober evaluation to change how we do things.
We have the most active DEI groups I've ever seen (and I've worked at 3 very progressive "woke" Silicon Valley companies): SWAGN (Sila Women and Gender Non-conforming), SiLatines, etc., they welcoming participation of "Allies" and host though-provoking and awareness-generating speakers.
Sila's equity sharing is generous, and Sila has made it possible for some employees to liquidate options pre-IPO. Medical benefits are better than most, co-pays are low and the programs are aimed at letting employees focus on work and not worry about health coverage much.
