Office culture is amazing. Dedicated culture ambassadors, who are a recruiter and an engineer, plan events in the NYC office, and they're doing an amazing job, not to mention the daily interactions and lunches with a strong in-office presence.

Coworkers on my team are incredibly smart, kind, and thoughtful. In my experience, there is a total absence of known smart but "difficult" people, which is unheard of.

The projects are really interesting and technically deep, since we are fundamentally a data company.

Perks and benefits are great. It is one of the rare tech companies that still seems to have all the right values regarding DEI, work-life balance, and keeping its employees happy.

Not sure what the outlook is on the future of AI. We're certainly at a major inflection point with a new CTO and a lot of AI initiatives, and it remains to be seen how it goes.

The quality of managers seems to be mixed. There is high management turnover, but that's the industry right now.

Culture ambassadors should be compensated for the value they add.

Don't lower the hiring bar, and do whatever it takes to attract top talent. The low-hanging fruit is moving up the new grad recruiting cycle.
