      Pay is decent, but not a lot of support

      Postdoctoral fellow
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is decent, have option to work from home, and $10,000 travel stipend is really nice

      Cons

      You don't have complete freedom to work on topics that interest you. You have to work on what your mentor wants. This is not what a fellowship is supposed to be. Also, you will not get any response when you reach out to someone higher up.

      A great place to work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of great projects to work on and lots of great people. Mostly good, experienced people interested in the work, savvy about ego and willing to put theirs aside. Everyone is either friendly and helpful or tries to be, as time and personality permits.

      Cons

      For building software, they seem to believe in not having separate build and test engineers. It's good for software engineers to write tests for their own code, but it's also good to have test engineers write tests as well. At the very least, projects should dedicate time for the whole team to brainstorm and design tests together to ensure every aspect is covered. Also, there's often no org chart, no way for new people to know who's doing what. For a contractor, it's especially difficult to get to know people. And this could be easily rectified.
