Pros

- Smart co-workers who were generally nice on a personal level - Nice office in LA with a cool showroom - Good health insurance for CA

Cons

- Terrible pay and zero career advancement opportunity. Bait and switch with certain benefits - Team is all across the world so you have to get used to insane meeting times leading to zero work-life balance - They have extremely limited and incomplete data because their analytics budget is so low - The way the analytics org operates is needlessly complicated, and co-workers are very aloof in terms of sharing info. If you ask common-sense questions, they look at you like you're an idiot. Then they get pissed you didn't ask enough questions. - Terrible tech, decades old database software. They use Power BI for everything, which SUCKS. BTW your entire job will be creating Power BI dashboards. - Their former and current CEOs have very weird, megalomaniacal personalities - There's a combative relationship between facilities/IT helpdesk and corporate. Anything you need to install or set up, you'll get a ton of pushback. I saw colleagues berate facilities and facilities would snark back. Extremely unprofessional system.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
