Pros

Read all of the existing Glassdoor reviews about rocketship growth, great opportunity for careers, and the rock-solid leverage the company has in the data science industry. They are all true.

The company is growing fast and the ceiling seems nonexistent. If you are looking for a challenge and want to learn and enhance your data science skills, then this is the place to be.

Cons

Read all of the negative reviews about lack of work-life balance, incompetent workforce management, and narcissistic influencers. Do not be naive; this is also true.

This job requires 24/7 engagement for success. Expect this, be prepared for it, and you will thrive.

Advice to Management

Be transparent about expectations from the workforce.

Work/life balance does not exist here. This is nothing to be ashamed about, as it is proven to be a winning mechanism for success at this time. Just be honest about it, and the complaints will stop.

Otherwise, you're doing a great job.
