My shortest time with any company.

Pros

The people - my team was great, the others I met on the path to creating and enriching the culture were incredible.

Cons

Everything else. No value for the time and effort you put in which was the biggest reason I left, besides that: Pay is below market, no 401k, no RRSP. The lack of ownership from leadership is unreal, no one can make a decision without checking with "mom and dad," in return actual progress halts and momentum of progress dissipates No interest in improvement, a fundamental lack of understanding regarding project management, communication, team dynamics and development, collaboration - like all things that make a business run smoothly. its all duct tape and zipties Every company meeting featured the signature ordering video, empty words from the out-of-touch c-suite and props for members of the eng team. So so so much ambiguity.

Pros

Used to be a good company. Work life balanced due to easy projects

Cons

Manager lacks in-depth ML knowledge and only throws around buzz words. Zero confident that this company will go anywhere.
