Pros
I agree that with another recent review that some older reviews seem outdated: the work is not at all like consulting. We are making a startup and doing the work that's needed on short and long-term horizons Talking to some longer tenured staff it seems like partnership projects before we launched startups (from the successful projects) had more work in them like consulting when we liaised with partners. I think the CEOs (Ned/Jim) care about making the kind of workplace they'd want to have worked for at our age. Mistakes come from them being twice the age of most staff. * Colleagues are smart and helpful. Great atmosphere * Flexible wfh * Lead Data Scientist / Software Engineer are thoughtful about their teams and products. * You get a lot of responsibility and control over work (also a potential downside)
Cons
Stock options are a gamble. If the startups don't get sold then we "only" get a six-figure salary.
