Pros

This is a company for people who want to stay young, curious and hungry. It's for people who aren't afraid to take ownership, make smart decisions and gather the resources they need to get things done. The company has an inspiring long term vision - creating economic empowerment by changing the future of work. Though the market isn't quite ready - the concept is where amazon or ebay was 15-20 years ago. The people here are awesome. There is a wide and interesting range of personalities. However, everyone is equally dedicated to achieving things together. People are invested in each other and always willing to share knowledge.

Cons

Given the nature of the industry, sometimes long hours are necessary. There is quite a strong company culture. Therefore it would be an awesome fit for some but not inclusive for all. You have to figure out what impact you want to make, what to do and how to do it - this ambiguity may be a struggle for some, though exciting for others.

Pros

Freelancer is one of the very few companies in Australia that do proper data science. The company is extremely data driven and understands the value of it. While working here I had the chance to work on multiple large machine learning projects, I believe rarely you can do the same in other companies. The people are smart and motivated to solve hard problems.

Cons

You should be ready for blunt feedback on what you do - which could take a bit of getting used to. Overall the feedback is often very useful.
