Pros

*Great startup environment with free food, coolest office playground, stock options, end of year bonuses, fast and open mindset; * Good opportunities in training, attend international conferences, dedicate 5% of the time to personal projects, reading groups, time to discuss and explore deep learning approaches; * One of the few companies that allow data scientists to do applied research and publish. * Great opportunities for career development, promotions, frequent feedback, and personal development plan.

Cons

* The company expanded very fast in the last year and continues to expand now. This has brought a certain lack of control over different areas. Communication has improved a lot, but there are sill some issues left. * There is an ambition roadmap of activities, but few people to manage and communicate the work. * Engineering culture is focused in .NET core. Python only exists in Data Science. The company needs to improve support to Python and Machine Learning services.
