Pros

- Great Compensation and very interesting projects

Cons

- My role was a bit ambiguous . Even the management does not know what they are hiring for or what sort of work is expected to be done . After a while they ran out of meaningful work to assign me and led to a layoff.

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
