Very team dependent (as is with all companies)
4.0
Current Employee / Data Scientist
Pros: You will thrive if you’re an independent person and can figure out your own projects to pursue. Managers are pretty hands off
Cons: There seems to be a lot of red tape in Eng, everything always has to put on quarterly plan. Not exactly politics but this really slows down how fast you can move.

Remote is nice, but culture and comp sucks
2.0
Current Employee / Software Engineer
Pros: Having full remote is pretty nice. Very little chance of RTO. Also, pretty good benefits in terms of tech stipend
Cons: Feels like culture here is kind of toxic and management doesn't know what they are doing. Stock comp is terrible right now as the stock keeps falling. Depends per team, but feels like some teams have infighting among themselves
