Pros

The data science team is excellent. Managers are reasonable, teammates are helpful, and the work is challenging. Truly a great collaborative team that knows what they are doing, and delivers great work.

Cons

The CEO keeps changing the direction of the company every year - this has resulted in 4 rounds of major layoffs and restructuring. They have not decided if they are going to focus exclusively on SaaS, or continue servicing custom industry research. As such, it is hard for anyone on the data science team to feel any sense of job security or trust in upper management. Beyond that, due to layoffs, the data science team has to contend with periods of understaffing which can lead to unreasonable workloads and burnout.

Pros

Smart Colleagues: The absolute best part of the job is the individual contributors. You get to work alongside incredibly smart, talented, and driven people on the ground floor. Solid Benefits: The overall benefits package is competitive and well-structured. Office Perks & Lunch: The office environment is excellent, featuring great perks, a nice setup, and provided lunches that definitely made the daily routine better.

Cons

Leadership Needs Accountability; Toxic "Frat" Culture. If you like being screamed at and belittled then you might succeed. Juvenile Culture: Despite the professional perks, the actual workplace dynamic heavily mimics a "frat boy" environment. If you aren't part of the insular, favored social clique, your upward mobility is severely limited, regardless of your performance, data, or output. Poor Leadership: Management consistently lacks the maturity and strategic vision required to lead a modern enterprise. Decisions feel reactive, transparent communication is virtually non-existent, and leadership seems far more interested in self-preservation and internal politics than supporting their teams. Insults from senior leadership don’t serve as motivation. High Burnout & Turnover: Because leadership fails to look past their favored circles to support the wider team effectively, turnover is high. The burden invariably falls on the remaining staff, leaving people burnt out despite the nice office amenities.
