Pros

Some of the problems we worked on were interesting

Cons

- Compensation is poor; Mid-level data scientists are paid well below the median salary for entry-level data scientists in the US - Little opportunity for career advancement even when management recognizes good performance - E Source was acquired by a private equity firm called Align Capital Partners a couple years back. I would bet that ACP is putting pressure on management to cut wages. - High attrition rate (I think 4 out of 13 people left our team in the first half of 2022) - Poor upper management—team was led by someone who was always overwhelmed, unresponsive, and unsupportive

Pros

The people who are directly involved with project work are smart and passionate. Project work is interesting and feels meaningful

Cons

C-suite leadership is hyper-focused on profits. I worry this will lead to higher turnover, lower work quality, and less happy clients over time. C-suite leadership also seems to make decisions in a vacuum without consulting the teams who are actually impacted by those decisions There is limited investment in employees and our professional growth. Clunky systems, unclear expectations, and poor communication between departments. Limited to no investment in culture, employee well-being, or team cohesion
