Amazing colleagues but high work intensity and management concerns

Analytics engineer

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The people are amazing. Some of the smartest I've met and yet also the best to work with. I learned so much from working here.

Cons

High intensity of work (but you also get good rest). Work hard, play hard. Upper management has been making worrying decisions with AI (eg all in with too little of a plan or oversight).
