Pros

- great ICs to work alongside you, interesting problems everyone is trying to solve

Cons

- terrible leadership who make really bad hiring decisions and also bad decisions about deadlines and then have to have a bunch of layoffs to get back money - multiple leaders have quit because they have been burnt out - they laid off all the women in the DS department, literally no female leaders in DS since the beginning - stay away

Pros

Work life balance (very few talented employees to check on your work, and hose who can are slacking their way into the sunset)

Cons

Profoundly incompetent (at best) leadership that kept failing at literally everything except burning truckloads of capital into very little product. Until a couple years ago, there was some interesting AI being developed, although layers of incompetence killed the whole effort, and all those employees left or got axed. Luckily (for now), two things kept the business under artificial respiration: deep pocketed investors who presumably cannot afford a public failure, and the deeply legacy nature of most other airline tech vendors.
