Not the best company for technical people, especially women

Data scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are quite good

Cons

Internal technical talent is treated very poorly. Women are paid less than men in the same position despite having more skills, education, experience, etc. Also, women are severely abused by the business leaders they work with, are treated like slaves, harassed, and emotionally abused.
