Pros

Igor is the CEO, and he really thinks about how to run the business well, how to have efficient communication in the company, how to team work to deliver good result. So when you really want to do something for the company, most of the time you get proper resources to support you.

Cons

Very global. Inevitable to have evening/morning meetings.

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
