Pros

- The company is truly passionate about being the data and machine learning platform of choice for customers - Colleagues are incredibly smart and come from great backgrounds - Growth and user adoption are off the charts. The company makes major strategic anniuncements periodically. - It's still small enough to connect and learn from multiple groups

Cons

- A culture of favoritism and blame. Good work may go unnoticed but any slipups, even minor ones, lead to multiple stakeholders punishing you - Bloated middle management. Shockingly high number of hires in the mid/senior leadership tiers without filling important frontline positions - Everything is due yesterday and the myopic working style means systems are inadequate, overburdened and come with a high human cost
