      Getting Corporate

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Food - Health care benefits - Fringe benefits - Nice campus - Corporate shuttles - State of the art tech stack - Extremely smart coworkers - Visionary and bold top management

      Cons

      Work/life balance can get hurt as a lot of folks at the office are single and do not understand the needs of having a family. The company is getting bigger. This means more room for backroom politics and aligning people without ruffling people's feathers. Very talented individual contributors (and/or good at politics) are being promoted. As a result, instead of having well rounded managers, you end up having either extremely career driven or super awkward managers. Some of those middle managers are very green, making it even more painful. Some women feel like they have to be extra tough at work because of the Leanin coolaid, making them very hard to work with.

      Best place for data science

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - World class technology and infrastructure - Brilliant colleagues who care a lot about their work - Challenging problems and impactful - Decisions focus on the data and facts behind an idea vs who's suggesting it

      Cons

      - Not a con for me, but Facebook is an intense place, driven by smart and passionate people. If you are looking for a place to coast, this aint it. - Commute, if you're living in SF

      Simply amazing

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Every morning when I go in, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth for ever landing a job here. Projects: Every team is understaffed, so there is a ton of incredibly important work to do everywhere. Because of this, you can work on high-impact (and potentially high-visibilty) projects from Day 1. Autonomy: I've always felt extremely trusted in both my technical competency and prioritization skills. Management is (generally) helpful when I want help, but mostly I've been able to do my own thing and work on whatever project feels most important to the company and/or interesting to me. People: Everyone is really smart, and most people are really friendly, funny, and generally awesome to hang out with. Food: Amazing. Healthy options are phenomenal, as are the unhealthy ones. Gym: The staff is incredible. So much more!

      Cons

      - Stress: The company likes to run slim. As mentioned in the pros above, this means you're always working on impactful projects, but it also means your team is understaffed and you may have to work some nights and weekends to get stuff done (though definitely not as bad as the previous strartup I worked for). The more teams you work with, the worse this can get, since some people love to load up on meetings during the day. Egos: There are some people who are really full of themselves and difficult to work with. This happens anywhere I've been, but there's a special brand of self-importance among some folks here. Fortunately, I've never had to work too closely with these people, but they make their presence known.
