Pros

Great pay, beautiful office space, opportunities to grow in different verticals. US management and local team members were a dedicated bunch of awesome people I had the great pleasure of working with.

Cons

This company hired some of the most talented people in the country for leadership roles in the U.S. most of which had ZERO experience in hospitality. This was intentional. Upper management from overseas wanted to control the direction and narrative while disregarding the few leaders with experience that knew what needed to be done. They figured hiring Harvard and Stanford Graduates would compensate for lack of experience. Unfortunately it didn't. Once a decision was rolled out it took approximately 24 hours before the company would decide to move in another direction. Talk about a waste of time and money! AGMs and I&E heads truly cared about their owners and while the corporate teams wanted to support them in every way possible, upper management had different goals for each department which often conflicted in doing what's best for their owners. This company had absolutely no idea of what they were getting into by expanding to the US and quite frankly still don't know what they're doing. Do your self a favor and stay far, far, away!

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work on real-world machine learning problems, exposure to large-scale data, supportive colleagues, fast-paced culture that encourages growth and continuous learning.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times due to tight deadlines, rapid changes in priorities, and the need to adapt quickly in a high-pressure startup-like environment.
