Pros

-coworkers are great -mobility opportunities for global or national teams

Cons

-micromanagement to the nth degree -job mobility within the BU is very much determined based on likeability rather than job performance -what is right today, is wrong tomorrow -you cannot take PTO, no flexibility for appointments, no exceptions -underpaid to do the work of 2-3 people. Jobs are posted, but they do not hire for them

Pros

The work environment is relaxed and low-stress, and the projects themselves are genuinely interesting and give you room to work on real, meaningful problems. Compensation is fair for the base role, and the day-to-day culture is easy to work within.

Cons

Growth opportunities within the company are limited, and it can be hard to see a clear path upward. Compensation, while fair, isn't very competitive compared to the market for similar data science roles, especially as skills develop. Projects are interesting but aren't closely tied to cutting-edge AI/ML work, so it's harder to build modern, in-demand technical skills here.
