Pros & Cons
Decagon
- Strong engineering-driven culture with technical founders still deeply involved
- Ship meaningful AI features to enterprise customers every week
- Intense workload and high expectations — not a typical 40-hour week
- SF-centric; most roles expect in-office presence
n8n
- Exceptional remote-first culture with high trust, autonomy, and smart collaborative teammates
- Fast-growing open-source product with real impact — lots of ownership in a low-ego environment
- Hypergrowth means priorities shift frequently and processes are still being defined
- Startup intensity can be stressful; some concerns about product leadership direction
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.
n8n
One of the highest-rated companies on the list (4.5 Glassdoor, 90% recommend) — genuinely remote-first, async, transparent, and OSS-driven. Small headcount means limited specialization but broad ownership and real impact.
