Pros

provides lots of data to learn and analysis. Can learn a lot if you know how to.

Cons

The competition is tough. You need to focus in research that will payoff in a short period of time . Hard to really do good research. Also, there's some politics problem in this company.

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
