Pros

Very academic and research-heavy work environment, with fascinating projects.

Cons

Tech stack can be quite outdated. We mostly use C++ for infra and Python for DS/ML work, but a huge portion of geolocation code was written decades ago in Fortran, and to understand it is very difficult since oftentimes there is minimal documentation.
