Pros

+Great place to learn how state-of-the art ML is being applied in the enterprise (they've got a nice roster of blue-chip clients, despite being around for 2 years) +Very high impact product and projects to stretch your capabilities +Impact focused with very senior customers (CEOs, CFOs, CIO etc) across a number of industries +Really high caliber talent. There are folks who find supernova in their spare-time (no jokes), work on self-driving cars, expert jazz musicians. +Very diverse. There are folks from all over the world (middle east, south america, asia, europe)

Cons

+Not a place where you can sit passively - you are expected to make opportunities, push new ideas and take risks +Lot's of ambiguity and challenging problems (can be good for some) +Heavily indexed on engineers and experts. (opposite of most startups, which can make it challenging for internal roles)

Pros

I seriously can't say enough good things about working at DeepLearni.ng. One thing that really stands out to me is the team. Everyone gets along very well, it's one of the most welcoming work environments I've come across. On top of that, everyone is exceptionally clever and has deep domain knowledge. I had the chance to work on Frontiers, the companies flagship product. It's scary to think of the potential this tool has, it's an incredibly powerful piece of software. There are also some awesome perks to working there. The whole dev team is required to do machine learning "learning hours" and a side project during work hours within which you get paired off with a mentor, you can choose your project based on your interests. The best thing about getting paired off with a mentor is the talent pool you get to learn from! There are also weekly meetings where the company comes to together to discuss and implement cutting edge research papers in the field. Needless to say that going to work was never boring. Also, prepare for dogs :) The work-life balance is great. Nobody is encouraged to work after hours, the team is very productive and understands the need to pace themselves. I did end up having so much fun that I would sometimes stick around the office after-hours though.

Cons

None to name other than that if you don't like roti (or bagels) Friday meals might be a little challenging.
