Pros
I have been working with a very talented people in Machine learning team since I joined. The team is very diverse in terms of talents, skills, experience, ethnicity and gender. We have lots of interaction for each project which help us to learn alot on different problems and tools and methods to solve them! My progress and learning has been very fast due to working with such a diverse team I have many interesting experiences such as, attending the best conferences in my field, giving talks on my projects and speaking at those conferences, teaching workshops, contributing to products and customer projects in a broad range of topics within my field. The company is very supportive of the employees and employees are very friendly and caring to each other! What I love about working at Figure Eight is that I get a lot of opportunities to experiment with new things and starting new projects and sharing my ideas and they are always supportive and respective of it! I like working with my managers in Technology teams and think they are very understanding, caring and open-minded ! We have work from home days where we focus on projects even though the office particularly the machine learning and technology area is a quite and pleasant place to work.
Cons
Due to all recent changes in the company as now an AI company, there are things that needs to be restructured within and between teams so the company delivers the best AI services and products which could be challenging sometimes and needs the employee to adjust quickly and learn fast. This might not be actually a cons to people who loves challenges and learning and working with new tools (like myself)
