Pros

- Exposure to a range of projects, offering opportunities to work with data and AI technologies. - Potential for growth in a startup environment.

Cons

- Engineering teams are divided into R&D and Core; Core engineers are required to participate in an on-call rota, which is non-optional. - R&D lacks clear direction, leading to immense pressure and shifting priorities. - Senior leadership frequently changes goals, causing confusion and forcing engineers to adapt to last-minute changes. - The CEO tends to favor individuals who are most vocal in agreeing with leadership, which can create a challenging work culture.
