Perplexity

San Francisco, CA · founded 2022

Perplexity is a San Francisco AI answer-engine startup, founded in 2022, that has raised over $1B and grown explosively (its employee base grew nearly 300% in 2024). It is an office-first, high-intensity place: many roles are 'based in-person' and require living within commutable distance of an office. Employees on Blind praise the mission, the fast pace, the ownership and the talented peers, but rate work-life balance poorly — long hours, and time off described as discouraged. Pay is seen as competitive with equity, though trailing OpenAI and Anthropic.
