Pros

- Solve very interesting problems at the intersection of Machine Learning and Retail - Have a huge impact towards the success of the company - Work with and learn from some of the brightest people in Data Science, Retail and Technology - Good benefits (401k, health insurance) and the usual startup perks (free snacks, occasional free meals) - No sense of being micromanaged, I've been trusted to execute and given freedom to think creatively - Senior leadership is outstanding and employees get a great amount of face time with them

Cons

- Hours can be long, however there is a lot of flexibility around which hours you work (emphasis is on getting work done rather than working a 9-5 schedule) - Some growing pains given the size of the company and the progress it has made recently

Pros

There is an essence of "capturing lightning in a bottle" here at Celect. There is no doubt that the science out of MIT is truly a scientific breakthrough, but more importantly a product has been built which delivers on the promise of the underlying research. Most importantly, there is a market where this technology seems to be custom made for - every retailer understands the concept of Customer Choice Modeling, and is interested in better understanding how their customers choose. The team here so far is top notch with a mix of experiences and skill sets, and willing to help each other.

Cons

There is still quite a bit of progress that needs to be made on extending the product, but the core platform is built and it works - early customer results have been really, really good. And we are early in our development as a company - about a dozen or so people as I write this post, and this size is not for everyone (but we won't be this size for long).
