Pluspunten

- smart colleagues - challenging work, you wont get bored

Minpunten

- managers don't respect researchers and don't listen to their suggestions. There are two things I cant stand in a person: lack of integrity, and talking too much about things that he does not really know. Unfortunately my local GM has both. - bureaucracy, lack of transparency, many room for favoritism - very little left for new employees. Most of the pie is occupied by veterans, who are also given more privileges and have much better access to data / information. PMs have little incentive to use new alphas. New researchers ended up with very little bonus I think Igor is a good leader, however he has allowed a big gap to exist between him and the researchers, and the management who is filling the gap is incompetent. Hopefully he will realize that.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
