Pros

Hardly ever, if at all. I can’t think of any!

Cons

Initially, the company may seem accommodating and enticing with the promise of a move to the Netherlands. However, this is misleading, as most of the employees are based in Iran, and this is not disclosed to clients. The CEO of the company's true character will be revealed if you ever have a small disagreement with him; there is no room for negotiation, and I was forced to leave the company. I would not recommend DataChef or Ashkan for any reason; it is best to steer clear of them.

Pros

Exposure to a wide range of projects and modern data/AI technologies. Collaborative team culture; colleagues are approachable and willing to help. Start-up energy that gives you ownership and the chance to make an impact. Leadership is open to new ideas and encourages experimentation. Steep learning curve that accelerates professional growth.

Cons

Processes and workflows can feel unstructured at times, leading to rework or unclear priorities. Workload can be demanding, especially during peak project cycles. Limited focus on formal career development frameworks (mentorship, training programs, etc.). Compensation and benefits are competitive but could be more standardized.

Pros

Working as a Product Designer at DataChef has been an exciting ride for two years, and here's the lowdown:

Cons

Speedy Pace: The fast-paced environment might be a bit much for those who prefer a slower work pace. Limited In-Person Interaction: We miss more face-to-face time due to the current virtual setup, hindering some collaborative activities.
