Pros

work life balance is determined by the team, but data science team is relatively relaxed. A lot of opportunities to develop skills and grow internally. Ability to temporarily work from any office worldwide is pretty neat.

Cons

A lot of reorgs and consistent "light" layoffs keep you on your toes. continually stripping of employee benefits as a tool to drive shareholder value (no more on-site clinic, not travel budget to meet remote teams, creating gap between ICs and managerial role by only ramping up senior manager roles (cost savings measure). RTO to three days a week coming soon and while it isn't as bad other Seattle companies, it is still pretty pathetic to expect it with such an inconvenient office location and charging $12/day for parking (there are shuttles which are decent so long as you are near one of the few pick up points. I am not near a pick up point).

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
