Pros & Cons
Notion
- Incredible product culture — everyone uses Notion daily and cares deeply
- Transparent leadership with accessible founders and high trust
- Fast pace can lead to burnout, especially during product pushes
- Hybrid required (3 days in-office) — not truly remote-friendly
Together AI
- Open-source AI infrastructure — real mission alignment, not just marketing
- Small team with outsized research output; your work has direct impact
- Early-stage means wearing many hats constantly — not for specialists
- Limited career ladder; growth paths are still being defined
Bottom Line
Notion
Strong product culture with a beloved CEO (96% approval) and genuine design sensibility — but hybrid-required and the pace can burn people out during product pushes.
Together AI
Choose Together AI if you want real open-source mission with outsized research output — but expect to wear many hats.
