Exciting times ahead at Big Squid

Pros

An innovative tech that is at the top of the hype cycle. The machine learning platform actually works and is giving value to customers. A company this small making the Gartner report as leaders next to companies like Amazon, Goolde, and Oracle in ML/AI is impressive.

Cons

Still pretty early in the companies customer acquisition process. This makes it hard to have relevant customer stories to share with prospects. Leadership can be a bit scattered with the rapid growth on strategy with the VPs pulling in different directions.

Pros

Big Squid hires smart and capable people. I enjoy working with pretty much everyone. I look up to my peers and I'm always learning. Culture of freedom with accountability. Schedule is flexible, as long as you take care of what is expected of you.

Cons

It's a high growth company. Constant change. Not a place for someone who needs a "defined role" and "regular business hours". The accountability side of the "freedom with accountability could be improved for some of the low performers.

Pros

The main reason I love Big Squid is the team and the collaborative environment. Everyone who works here is incredibly committed to the success of the company and solving challenging problems to help our customers grow and scale. Each day is a challenge and that makes it fun and exciting. I have worked very structured, large company positions and the freedom and flexibility to get my work done without being micromanaged is a perk that keeps me motivated and committed to Big Squid.

Cons

We are a start up and definitely run with that mentality. Wearing multiple hats is common and while fun, can be challenging to balance work load.
