Pros

Interesting line of research. It's really impossible to say something else

Cons

- Horrible structure: It is supposed to be a consulting firm, but in my experience, I just worked with the founder of the company on a one-to-one basis. She made the interview, wrote me the contract, and guided my research. As far as I know, no other senior research analyst works there. - Cheat: Roya Ghalefele promised to hire me full time after a trial period, just to pay me a low salary in the meantime. One day, she told me I was going to receive a proper full-time contract by phone. I got excited, and when asked her for more details, she told me she never made that offer. Just a taste for you to imagine how serious this company is. - Awful timing. Roya Ghalefele sent me emails and called me, literally at any time. Sundays, evenings, mornings before 8 AM... I just don't advice at all this company, it was the worst work experience of my whole life.

Pros

Remote working available and interesting problems to work on. Free work laptop.

Cons

Never expected the workplace treatment to be as poor as it was, within just the first week management called and was insulting another employee that started at the same time as me. Initial salary offer was low for the level of the job. Expectations are high for something I had no experience in and minimal guidance was often provided. Mixed messages consistently as you’ll go from being the best employee one week to feeling like a weight the next. It was very stressful working here and even stressful resigning.
