      Overcrowded team, poorly managed, and downtrending culture

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of other smart and motivated data scientists to work with. Snacks are nice. Overall a good work/life balance. Other benefits are pretty good/average.

      Cons

      Pay is below market, especially for a $10+ bn company. It's gotten very hierarchical. Senior managers of the data science teams play a lot of politics and pick favorites. What's valued more and more is heads-down, produce-a-lot type of work. It's not a surprise since they hire at least two new data scientists every week. It's a great first job, learn a lot and get some experience, and move on to a better (higher paying or less political) company, e.g. Amazon/Microsoft/startup. Long-term prospects are limited unless you want to be a favorite and play the politics game. I don't care for it.

      The worst job I've ever had

      Business account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are great, PTO, free snacks

      Cons

      I don't even know where to start... When I got hired a year ago the job was enjoyable. They've increased metrics since by 30%, changed the commision structure as well so now I'm doing more work but getting paid less. Almost everyone on the floor hates the job but upper management sees everyone as disposable so they dont really care. It's a call center job not a real sales job.

      Totally not worth your time

      Senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can't think of any, except perhaps the free beer and well-stocked kitchenettes. Also, close proximity to senior leadership means you can listen in on some really cool, high-level strategic conversations which you might otherwise not be privy to.

      Cons

      This is a very broad list of cons based on my short experience at the firm. I tried diving deeper into each point in another review, but was flagged several times for language inconsistent with Glassdoor's policies. So I'll keep it brief: -Highly political -Manager was unsupportive of personal growth. No direction, guidance, or even team huddles for that matter to foster camaraderie and drive towards goals -Poor training resources and onboarding process -Folks who have been around for awhile at the company usually aren't very friendly or encouraging, behave unresponsive, and have a showy attitude when it comes to collaborating cross functionally
