Pros

Pay is decent considering what other customer/client service jobs are paying. You get benefits on day one of starting. Your co-workers are awesome and the direct managers are easy to work with.

Cons

If you're considering joining the team...somethings to think about. The EAM team workload is increasing. We have a dedicated base to service, but have to be in a phone queue, which can often get hectic (especially towards the end/ beginning of a quarter and/or year). Leadership may try to make it seem like it's not that bad during the interview process...but when you start getting messages about your adherence cause of the workload you're under...it becomes that serious. You do have an hour off the phones to work on projects, but...will likely need to stay after your shift to finish up work. You will need to be in role 12-18 months before you can switch to another role within the company.

Pros

It is pleasure to work in the Data Science team. Managers are very taking care on your life/work balance. It is not too much pressure - you can learn new things, contribute to OSS, attend conferences. They are not forcing to deliver fast all the time and you have enough time to think on options and deliver good quality solutions which was interesting to build. But the real gold is the atmosphere in the team. You can rely on your peers as well as managers trust the team. As the result our team is the one of the most performing in the company

Cons

No RSUs, 4 years laptop replacement policy. Mess in the management above the Data Science team. Too often a new managers come, unclear and different directions which is changing with each new manager
