Pros

- flexible hours (work from home now and then, come in early leave early) - broad exposure to many different types of data science and areas of MM business - you'll learn a ton - paid master's degree at UMass Amherst (usually CS, sometimes statistics, may leave office to take classes during day) - you don't owe the company more time after the DSDP in return for getting the MS - great salary, low COLA in Amherst

Cons

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
