Pros

nice building, good pay but no amount of money is worth the cost on health

Cons

very toxic data science culture, used to be good, but getting worse and worse over the years since COVID when half of the colleagues left. Some data science managers would ask colleagues to change data for positive business outcomes, gaslighting colleagues, lots of workplace bullying and harassment. while most of the data science managers, senior managers, directors of data science know very little about data science and machine learning. People fight for impacts and steal credits from each other given the limited promotion opportunities.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
