Pros

Lot of opportunity to build stuff with a "service owner team" mindset. Less bureaucracy than large corporations like Microsoft and Amazon. Move to AWS made things so much better, reliable, and scalable. All managers I interacted with are very supportive of employees' career progression, interests, and opportunities.

Cons

Has grass root level problems like many services still stuck with a monolith codebase. Lost a few folks over "QA only" or "SRE only" roles during T-shaped engineers, but that's the way many companies operate these days anyway, and nothing wrong with that model either.

Pros

- Remote work - Genuinely talented and collaborative individual contributors across data science and analytics - Interesting problem space with real product and customer data to work with

Cons

- BI leadership does not have hands-on data science experience, which showed in how projects were scoped, evaluated, and prioritized. - Lack of clear leadership direction for the data science function. Priorities shifted frequently, and long-term strategy was hard to pin down, which made it difficult to invest in impactful work. - Career development conversations did not match outcomes. In my case, a promotion was discussed and promised by the leadership, and I was laid off shortly after. Whether that reflects poor planning or poor faith, it left me questioning the integrity of the process. - Transparency around organizational decisions was limited, which eroded trust on the team.
