      Inspiring façade

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people were great and there was free lunch with beer on Fridays. There was a good amount of autonomy. The company has a lot of potential and there were many employees who were motivated by this potential.

      Cons

      Management was adversarial and cliquey. They would alternate between being uninterested in a project, then micro-managing. Projects were cancelled regularly due to lack of resources. People would be fired out of the blue and turnover was higher than it should've been. Salaries were decided by haggling more than any kind of official pay range.

      A good experience but definitely not a long term career

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working hours Free soft drinks Friday lunches

      Cons

      Management spends a lot of effort trying to make you think it's a fun place to work and convince you that it's better than other companies so that you will accept a lower salary. The company is focused solely on profit and has moved away from R&D.
