Pros

Exposure to AI and new technologies. Interns have a lot of responsibility and learning opportunities.

Cons

The environment feels a lot like going to school and not like a professional workplace. Strict arrival times at work and no ability to work from home or manage your own schedule. There is a lack of strong leadership and direction. The management team is quite cheap when it comes to pay and bonuses. Make sure to get everything in writing as terms laid out verbally have a low chance of being honoured.

A great place to build

Pros

+Great place to learn how state-of-the art ML is being applied in the enterprise (they've got a nice roster of blue-chip clients, despite being around for 2 years) +Very high impact product and projects to stretch your capabilities +Impact focused with very senior customers (CEOs, CFOs, CIO etc) across a number of industries +Really high caliber talent. There are folks who find supernova in their spare-time (no jokes), work on self-driving cars, expert jazz musicians. +Very diverse. There are folks from all over the world (middle east, south america, asia, europe)

Cons

+Not a place where you can sit passively - you are expected to make opportunities, push new ideas and take risks +Lot's of ambiguity and challenging problems (can be good for some) +Heavily indexed on engineers and experts. (opposite of most startups, which can make it challenging for internal roles)
