Pros

Start up like culture, meaning less red tape and easy access to management. Management willing to accommodate most request from employees. Brilliant co-workers with lots of opportunity to learn numerous jobs. Relaxed atmosphere with CEO that seems to genuinely care about his employees. Loosely defined roles meaning you can learn any aspect of big data and data science that you want, titles do not mean much in this company. Self starter atmosphere allowing you to take control of most aspects of your job. Management does a great job of maintaining the small company culture despite being owned by a much larger generic corporate culture conglomerate.

Cons

If you want to do one specific job and not at least dabble in half a dozen others; it's probably not the right company for you. If you need management to evaluate you yearly, and lay out what you need to do to get your next raise or title change (kind of moot since titles don't really mean a lot because you have so many different jobs), this is not the best place for you to work. Self starter atmosphere means you will not have guidance from management. If you're an employee that needs to be managed from a hands on perspective, you will not do well in this company. Top down communication can be lacking. Atos the parent company is a train wreck and at times that can trickle down into ZData due to directives from them. Can be lots of travel

Pros

If you're an untalented engineer, you can thrive here. If you're just starting out, you can use this company as a stepping stone, and as an example of what a toxic company culture is.

Cons

I offered a clean & professional separation, offered to train a new-hire, provide two-week's when ready, and that I would maintain my quality of work I'm known for for the past 7 1/2 years. zData inc. an Atos Company decided they wanted to help me, and by helping me, they meant immediately terminating me during the pandemic, instead of the clean & professional transition I offered, or two week's professional notice from them which I also requested. This company is heartless: Loyalty means nothing, after 7.5 years: zData inc. an Atos Company in general pays far less than market rates, No lateral growth, No upward growth, Incompetent management, More management than engineers on most projects, Pure politics, taking advantage of their customers, lying about zData inc. an Atos Company' products-> lying to the customer's face, lying to Engineers' faces, Management is not trustworthy, Management does not have your best interest in mind, zData inc. an Atos Company-proper workweeks are normalized at 50hrs/wk, If your company has been acquired by zData inc. an Atos Company, and you are not immediately promoted, your ship is likely sinking, Being unexpectedly terminated just-cause or not, e.g. in a right-to-work state, makes me an employee in bad standing, which means: 21+/all days of vacation are forfeit - not paid out, My current quarter's bonus is forfeit - not paid out, You're technically ineligible for any severance whatsoever - again no payout, because you are an employee in bad standing.
