Pros

Very impressive colleagues with academic and consultancy backgrounds who are able to collaborate well. Supportive management (depending on the team, but my experience has been very positive.) Sign-on bonus Data focus and progressive approach to work.

Cons

If you are close to the operations side of the business you’re likely to be buffeted by the pressures of seasonal peaks. In these times, proactive thinking and personal development are overlooked while the focus is on the operational metrics and delivery. Hiring freeze at the moment. Some areas (such as recruitment) have very few opportunities for progression to the next level and the internal competition is high. (This is less of an issue in broader disciplines such as Data Engineering or broader HR.)

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
