Pros

Lots of smart people. In my overall major org there was lots of buy in from upper level management, so funding was good and we could hire.

Cons

Lots of bespoke engineering work that didn't help me keep up with ML/AI trends. A great deal of collision of priorities among projects, leading to deadlock and waiting for VP's or Directors to decide things about person allocation.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
