      Tones of data, very complex SQL, a lot of KOL tasks, no training, lots of fire fighting

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dealing with huge amount of e-commerce data Super scaling DW infrastructure Strong hands-on for end-to-end BI/DW practice Unique ELT framework

      Cons

      Throwing hardware upon problems Barely polished data model KOL and operational pressure is very high Poor medical insurance compared with Google, MS, Expedia in Seattle area High turn-over rate If stock price goes up, then you get less RSU next year because your previous RSU's value is too much

      Not good place to work for DE. Good experience to huge data volumes

      Data engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Huge data volume experience to technical people. Learning how things work with huge data volumes. Learning how to do quick fixes during on call support. less amount of documentation to do for testing and design documents. flexible work timings.initial hike and bonus are good

      Cons

      on call support on weekends. less consideration shown towards employee's at times. Most of the time will be spend in understanding how existing things caused a bug and how to fix that. More focused on getting things done very fast instead of doing the things in best way. no time for thinking or doing things except work. too much focused on frugality at times. Huge time involved in supporting existing applications. Post appraisal hikes are not good. They also pro-ratio %hike based on number of months you have worked for the organization in that appraisal cycle. Not good family and worklife balance. work hard only.
