Pros

You're given lots of ownership: For many of the projects on my team, while the overall direction is suggested from the team's tenets and management, the actual execution and implementation is entirely up to the engineers.

Strong blend of Science and Engineering: Our team has a direct mix of Applied Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers, which gives both types of employees opportunities to dive into the other side of the work.

Cons
  • Opportunity to lose work-life balance: We have no real strict work hours. Not many people go into the office, and work is expected to get done regardless of assumed hours. If you don't set out a strong work-life balance for yourself, there's a potential to get caught up in work. Though if you're strong-willed, I'm sure you'll be alright!
