Pros

The company occupies a fascinating space at the intersection of data science, world affairs and social media. If you're obsessed with data and current events, it's hard to imagine a more thrilling job. The team is top notch. Easily the brightest, most talented group I've ever worked with. The product is making a huge impact and contributing to its success is extremely gratifying. The atmosphere is great. Exciting, entrepreneurial, casual. Refreshingly little politicking and bureaucracy. Company is growing very rapidly, creating lots of opportunities for project ownership and advancement. Solid perks, not to mention the best office snack situation I've ever seen.

Cons

Truly don't have anything negative to say. It really is a terrific place to work.

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
