Pros

-I've always had an open door to the CEO, Ryan Bosshart, and other C-levels for any type of conversation. My boss does a great job of trying to enable his team. The leaders here also do a great job of being intentionally transparent with our strategy, growth trajectory, and strengths, and weaknesses. I previously worked at a company that always tried to do the next big thing whereas phData is laser-focused on building data products. -It's a very flexible culture, and the leadership team is always looking out for our employees. -As a salesperson, I always want to walk away with happy, satisfied customers. Our teams are VERY skilled in the space we specialize in, and we're not trying to play in areas where we're not strong. That said, I have very satisfied clients and that makes my life much easier. -There are also lots of growth opportunities here at phData. We were ranked the #48 fastest growing company on the Inc 5000 in 2019, and the data analytics and ML space has a ton of momentum.

Cons

-I work remotely, and sometimes I miss the office interaction -I really don't have much to say for cons. Of course it's not a perfect place to work, but it's the best place that I've worked (out of 4 employers) and I'm really enjoying the ride!

Pros

Do you want to be "obsessed with AI"? Because now they're "obsessed with AI"! It doesn't mean anything and it's worthless, but it's their brand new obsession and it's there for you if you want in.

Cons

They're very big on their "culture of feedback". Here's how that works. Them: "[something unfair, untrue, or exaggerated]" You: "that's untrue, unfair etc" Them: "you have to accept our feedback! This is a culture of feedback!" I had this conversation a few times. I also got in trouble for saying "wtf" in a private chat with another engineer. Then I quit. This place is nuts and is idiotic to think AI can do anything useful for data engineering in the first place. Avoid.

Pros

One of the best benefits at phData is the opportunity for rapid learning and skill development. The extensive industry knowledge of the phData team, a company culture focused on asking questions and sharing knowledge, and the opportunity to work with a variety of technologies and clients facilitates this growth. I can say that during my time there, I learned at a much faster pace than I would have at a more traditional corporate role. Also, the team at phData knows how to have fun. Company events, happy hours are a blast.

Cons

The fast pace and the need to always be learning may not be for everyone.
