Pros

Some of the problems we worked on were interesting

Cons

- Compensation is poor; Mid-level data scientists are paid well below the median salary for entry-level data scientists in the US - Little opportunity for career advancement even when management recognizes good performance - E Source was acquired by a private equity firm called Align Capital Partners a couple years back. I would bet that ACP is putting pressure on management to cut wages. - High attrition rate (I think 4 out of 13 people left our team in the first half of 2022) - Poor upper management—team was led by someone who was always overwhelmed, unresponsive, and unsupportive

Pros

Smart and passionate team members, project work is interesting, work load is good compared to other firms (maybe differs depending on the team)

Cons

Leadership appears to only care about the bottom line rather than employee well being and satisfaction. Staff morale is incredibly low. Brilliant people from the various acquired orgs are leaving.
