Pros & Cons
Decagon

Labelbox

- Working with top AI labs as customers
- Rapid growth creates organizational churn
- Some teams move faster than others
Bottom Line
Decagon
Choose Decagon if you want intense builder energy at a $4.5B Series D AI agents startup with real enterprise revenue — but expect SF office-centric culture and cash comp that trails top AI labs.
Labelbox
Choose Labelbox if you want to work on the data side of AI — labeling, evaluation, and training infrastructure used by frontier AI teams — with moderate SF-based intensity.
