Questions

Mostly behavioral, and surface-level AI knowledge, like the difference between ML, DL, AI. What is gradient descent, etc.

AI Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Everything is great here, and it is a good place.

Cons: No cons as of now.

Chaotic, no FAANG money, but good work-life balance

Software Engineer II • Current Employee

Pros: Work-life balance is pretty great. Half-day Fridays in the summer and an additional (paid) week off each year for "wellness". Work can be exciting as an engineer, especially if you like working with cutting-edge cloud computing platform work (AWS).

Cons: Pay is not great—not even close to a big "tech company". However, what work-life balance would be like at those places is a gamble. Last few years have been very chaotic at an org-level. The company is struggling post-COVID and it remains to be seen how things shake out. Senior leadership is still a tangled mess, and they're getting their bearings.

Lead Data Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Modern tech stack of Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, and *mostly* good internal platform support teams.

Cons: Too many egos needing to be assuaged and pet projects being interjected by and amongst the non-management leadership (distinguished and principal engineers, architects, etc.). The analytics platform team has very little software engineering chops, unfortunately, resulting in somewhat hackneyed integrations.
