Pros

Great experts in machine learning and programming, can learn much. Good salary for a ML/programming job in Poland. Good, friendly atmosphere among non-management people. Wide array of project types. Most projects are made on time without overly long crunch times. Nice coffee machine.

Cons

Terrible, terrible bosses. There's three of them: - one seems quite friendly, but gets annoyed easily, overblowing issues that bug him. In the end treats people like exchangeable tools. - another is always super-stressed, forgets what was told (or he told) several hours ago and makes very rushed decisions, sometimes different than a few hours ago, without him noticing. He's adept in pretending that he works a lot, while in reality he's doing bare minimum in everything he touches. That's his defining trait, haven't seen even once that he did something well. Moreover has wrong priorities, invests time in wrong things. - the third one is not a founder, but they stitch that title to him because it sounds better. I think he's the best of the trio, but the other two have a bad influence on him. I have reasons to suspect they may be lying to him about how they do things with people. Anyway a great expert in ML and a friendly guy. I'd rather prefer that he influenced another two, but it wasn't happening. Contracts are different for every person. They don't respect x weeks notice of contract termination, expecting that you won't sue them. They put a lot of effort to seem like a reputable company when you google them up: - there are still former employees on their page, sometimes possible future employees are there too - they post fictional opinions about them on pages like this one - they force employees to write articles for them (sometimes on topics that they don't know about much) - they force employees to like and link back to them from social networks, as well as set their employer - very low salary employees that just manually create input data for ML are called "analysts" (so they sell higher to clients) There's an atmosphere of stress and distrust toward management. You won't feel safe there.

Deep dive into machine learning adventures

Pros

- A fantastic atmosphere and team spirit. The commitment of the team to the work is really inspiring. Highly motivating and funny place to work. - The great opportunity to learn that AI consultancy is mostly about solving real world tasks, not transforming tables into tables. - Challenging tasks - in at least three projects we needed to come up with either completely new ML / DL techniques or adapt existing ones in a highly non trivial manner. - Good place to learn ML - loads of discussions on projects, fast knowledge transfer, experienced engineers. - Board listening to the team members - there were some issues with one of the former board members - but after an in-depth discussion, he was dropped from the company. This was mainly because of the feedback from the team. Another thing is that the most experienced engineers are invited to making almost all crucial decisions in the company - what helped in flattening structure.

Cons

- Lack of the experience of the board members - there were some issues connected to the lack of experience of the board members in the team management what produced tensions between board and the engineering team.
