Pros

Managed to attract very keen, bright employees in spite of internal corruption. Product & content library is impressive (reflects on employees, not management)

Cons

Extremely toxic working environment. Treacherous managerial level will (and has) closed ranks to protect C-Suite in serious incident of sexual misconduct. If you are a woman, an ally, or simply a person of any professional ethics, you do not want to work with this company (as an employee or as an external instructor).

Pros

Lots of smart, wel-intentioned people in the rank and file.

Cons

Some of senior management suffers from the worst characteristics of Silicon Valley bros - cannot recommend as employer, particularly for women.

Miserable place to work

Pros

Catered lunch, some really nice coworkers

Cons

- Excessive work responsibilities that have you working nights & weekends and unable to take any real time off (especially on the content team) - A workload that doesn’t serve to advance your career in data science. You will spend most of your time copy editing and chasing after external contractors to meet their deadlines. - Rampant, abrasive micromanagement. There is no room for variation, errors, learning or improvement. - Job responsibilities are a moving target. You will regularly have your day-to-day responsibilities change, and be held responsible if you don’t meet targets based on skills you were not hired for. - Frequent rewarding/promotion of employees who are known to bully their coworkers and subordinates.
