      Pros

      Interesting problem; gave us a lot of data sets; lot of freedom to come up with original predictive models - can use simple to sophisticated machine learning based methods. Promotions are fair and completely performance based.

      Cons

      Competitive culture, lot of secrecy. No one really talked to each other. Constantly compared you with others, not a healthy environment to be in for an extended period of time. They even employ some underhanded tactics when negotiating salary.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

      Cons

      The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
