Pros

I am teacher of their PT data science course, which is 23 lessons of 3 hours. Good atmosphere. Lots of students eager to learn, and often like to change careers, which gives the place an ambitious dynamic. I like working with my producer and teaching assistant. I love working with the students, and I learn a ton from teaching myself.

Cons

The lesson prep and student follow up is enormous. I teach 6 hrs/week, but I easily spend 20-30 hrs/week on the whole gig, on top of my own data science job. The are a lot of shared resources, but not ready-to go, or maybe I am just overly ambitious. It's worth it since I learn a lot, and I hope to stick around since most of the prep work has been done then.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and build experience with Fortune 500 and 1000 client projects, can offer flexibility since the work is 100% remote and contracts are on a per-project basis. Can be great for career growth if you're motivated to work hard and hustle

Cons

People are spread very thin on lots of projects, timelines can be very rushed and high-pressure. This can be a result of client pressure, but also frequently comes from internal issues with communication and poorly defined scope of work.
