Good intentions - no rigor, process, or accountability

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home forever. Days of rest.

Cons

Many "leaders" and not enough day to day tactical executers. Everybody is in charge (so no one is in charge). Lack of alignment to company goals (work prioritization). Senior leaders have multiple jobs so there's no real expert where deep expertise is needed.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Rewarding work, great teamwork, highly motivated and talented individuals, great work-life balance, safe work environment, outstanding opportunities, great culture, fully open to remote work, great benefits, fantastic pay, treats contractors like full time employees which allows for easier conversation to FTE status, great onboarding experience and great tech stack.

Cons

OnCall rotations and lack of onboarding and education for new members to OnCall rotations, many engineering teams can sometimes make it hard to cross communicate in completely different areas, plenty of documentation which is good and sometimes bad because it can be overwhelming.

Company with good work life balance but poor management future visions

Machine learning engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has some good talent as well as interesting product to work with, and the work life balance is good, company initiatives on diversity hiring and ethics is appreciated internally as well as outside.

Cons

but the engineering management is rooted in pre machine learning era senior staff who do not understand much about how the product could improve from latest advances in data science and ML. Hence a lot f wasted efforts.
