Pros

Free coffee, la Croix, and low end granola bars

Cons

Nepotism seeped into every management layer. C suite execs were frat bros? Check. Middle management all went to the same school and graduated same year? Check. A tech company with no tech leadership. Management mostly does not hail from a tech background and probably learned how to code through YouTube. The most egregious one of all: 1010data is a small tech company with a proprietary tech stack. That means its tech is its bread and butter and the company is highly dependent on it to differentiate itself from competitors. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, you just need sound leadership to drive the tech forward. Yet you have a CEO/President who is incapable of writing one line of code in the company's proprietary language (not an exaggeration) and is completely oblivious to what 1010 needs in order to survive. Could you imagine if DJT45 didn't speak English? It's that bad.

Pros

- Competent co-workers - Good benefits - Competitive salary - Company events - Modern tech stack - Large addressable market (I think)

Cons

- The product was not viable - there were much better, more cost-effective options available - Some people had to use K, a language that only 1010 data uses

Pros

Great place to work for a long time.

Cons

Started fading pretty quickly after its acquisition by Symphony AI, unfortunately, with lots of staff turnover.
