Pros
I have been working at G-research for 6 months. I would definitely recommend working here for the following reasons: - great people. People working here are extremely kind and helpful. As a new starter this has been very precious to 'make things run' (use the computing infrastructure, dealing with data....) - it is an actual 'research' job. You have access to lots of data + computing ressources and have to investigate how to make better predictions. As in academic research you have a lot of freedom. - very good company culture. Also there are lots of opportunities for learning new things. - It seems to me that the company tries to care about its employees as much as it can by organizing events (drinks, parties, activities...), providing lunches - great office location in central London.
Cons
- As many other reviews point out, it is true that remote work is limited here. However, I do not see it that much as a downside for the moment: it is much more convenient to work with people in person when you start a new job. - Compared to academic research, you have less impression of 'working for yourself' : you're working for the company.
