      Disorganized, naive, hopeful, immature

      Regulatory response associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (Pre COVID-19) Free food, 3% 401k matching, decent stock options (if the company ever goes public), decent PTO options, flexible managers, dogs in the office, cool office space, diverse, travel benefits, mental health benefits

      Cons

      Very disorganized, most employees have never had a corporate job and very much act like they're straight out of college, does not value introverts, weak WFH policy, dogs in the office, lots of money spent on office space, loud place to work (not great if you like a more peaceful or serious work environment), defensive toward anyone questioning policy or procedure, poor training

      A great place for data scientists

      Pros

      - Lots of great people (smart, skilled, empathetic & kind) both on the DS team and across the company. - Tons of opportunities to learn and grows as a DS through great lunch & learns (with great external speakers as well), internal workshops and mini-conference like data days. Amazing for data nerds. Lots of opportunities for DS mentorship from experienced folks if you seek it out. $1000 Education stipend. - Competitive compensation for DS and other positions. Company is profitable and usually generous to its employees. - All the usual great perks of a Sillicon Valley company like food, great snacks, flexible working hours, lots of benefits etc + $2000 in Airbnb credits/year - Great tooling and always improving on this (Knowledge Repo, data portal, R, Python servers, modeling platform etc) - Decent company growth and diversification - Not everything is perfect, but DS leadership listens, is open to feedback and acts on the feedback - Great company and DS brand - Strong data culture: data has a strong voice and DS are respected. People are eager to learn more about data through Data U. Focus on data self sufficiency etc. - Absolutely stunning office. Visitors are always amazed. - Inclusive, diverse and welcoming culture

      Cons

      - Waiting for IPO. Company took action to increase cash comp in the meantime (which was highly appreciated!), but still would be great to IPO soon - Still lots of improvement for data tooling (Superset, pipelining etc) and data quality - Often stretched thin, which can be stressful. Need to hire more DS faster - Food is sometimes great, sometimes just ok - Wish the office was closer to public transportation. Lyft credits mostly solve this, though. - Sometimes I feel like there can be too much of a SJW vibe, but I suppose this is a byproduct of having lots of highly empathetic and kind people.

      Customer Experience

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome benefits, lovely office, amazing co-workers, food!

      Cons

      No real way to advance in this office - you either have to move to SF, or compete with a bajillion other super talented and motivated co-workers. Not flexible about schedules or working from home. Less and less focus on employee happiness, more and more focus on the bottom line.
