Pros

Software sells itself Small team but they are open to help out and friendly and laid back The manager is pretty quick to turn around to help out to resolve the issue The manager is open to discussing one on one Respectful manager High-quality clients

Cons

Very Political Office Environment So much slack from the manager lot more distraction than focus Politics vs. Actions- More politics than working hard The manager is more of a politician; tell to you what you want to hear that it is not the case Not able to hire an actual trainer but leverage others for assistance Low base pay base Bro culture - Typical of many sales organizations Need to be positive at all times no room for negativity The chain of command is very weak Interrogation from the manager if you don’t click or mistake you be manipulated into thinking you are not good enough Must be able to tolerate confusion and changes or it is not the right role for you

Pros

- Remote work - Genuinely talented and collaborative individual contributors across data science and analytics - Interesting problem space with real product and customer data to work with

Cons

- BI leadership does not have hands-on data science experience, which showed in how projects were scoped, evaluated, and prioritized. - Lack of clear leadership direction for the data science function. Priorities shifted frequently, and long-term strategy was hard to pin down, which made it difficult to invest in impactful work. - Career development conversations did not match outcomes. In my case, a promotion was discussed and promised by the leadership, and I was laid off shortly after. Whether that reflects poor planning or poor faith, it left me questioning the integrity of the process. - Transparency around organizational decisions was limited, which eroded trust on the team.
