Pros

well-funded. Good food/snacks. flexible hours. unlimited time off

Cons

They hire friends and families without former interviews. Too much growing pain - goals switching too rapidly. Because of the fact that leadership groups are only listen to the employees who are already their friends and families and they clearly lack in domain knowledge, they set the goals unnecessarily complicated or sometimes even irrelevant. In data scientist team, most of people are fresh out of phd program so they think their thought process is perfect (and all others are wrong) and don't ask around much. If you are friend and family of leadership group, then your way of doing things will be easily accepted - and you will be very successful in the company.

Pros

Free lunch and snack. New constructed office

Cons

Regardless how nicely the company pitch themselves care about saving everyone on the earth internally or externally, it’s no doubt that nothing sold-able or say even usable by any customer have been built for the past few years. The team is very short vision, do not know who to sell, what to sell and how to build the right product for the right market, they have been living in their own dream that they are on the mission to save lives. In addition, the fundamental reason is the people. Nobody knows how to build a right team, each individual/group love to do things on their own agenda and has no knowledge how to understand user needs. Last thing... really low industry pay, and barely no compensate adjusting. The HR, newbie managers and c-level people are lacking of experience and respect.

Pros

Lots of mission driven employees lower on the totem pole. It seems that the cash-cow isn't drying up so you'll have some job security

Cons

Fails to listen to customer needs. A state of the art flood prediction model went essentially unused by the client because they didn't care for the (not-so) slick UI, they just wanted push notifications as most emergency managers do. So make the shift! Fails to listen to the experts. The data science and engineering teams were loaded with talent, but rather than listen to concerns about scalability, accuracy, and the literal impact on human lives if we got it wrong, they continued to push the idea that we can just throw more money at the problem and get it right. A lot of the strongest employees left due to an erosion of trust, particularly after they acquired Datmo which was clearly just a way to bail out their friends from grad school
