This is a place for people with an entrepreneurial spirit which means sometimes you need to work into the evening when there are important deadlines coming up but typically people don’t care as much about where you do your job as long as you produce. They balance that out with freedom to take time off whenever you decide you need a refresher or take care of important appointments in your personal life at any hour necessary. Your job security is only as strong as your performance/value so people that don’t fit the collaborative culture or the work ethic have been shown the door in the past, though on the positive side this creates an environment where you’re surrounded with high achieving people rather than people just counting the hours in the office.

Was hired for a data science position, due to the CEO's obsession with AI/Machine Learning/the Singularity/anything with a buzz word attached to it. Quickly realized that it would be impossible to do my job given the lack of access to any operational data, any product on which to implement models or algorithms, or any roadmap of how to get there. Tried to make the best of a bad situation for a lot longer than I should have.
