Business Outlook

Pros

- Better than average salary in developing countries. - No advanced math or knowledge of data science or anything that assumes more than a highschool diploma is required to work here.

Cons

- No training is offered. - Management is inexperienced - Competitiveness: you basically compete against everyone from day one, so knowledge doesn't get passed around freely. - You have to produce results at a pace that prevents quality research or any form of self learning. - Long hours In summary: if you expect to do more than testing one liner formulas for 10 hours a day, while listening to abusive comments from your supervisor about why you dont work 12 hours a day, this is the right job for you
