CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work on stuff that's pushing the boundaries of what data analytics systems can do and how fast they can do it. The people are super friendly and helpful.

Cons

There are a lot of meetings spread throughout almost every work day. Makes it a bit tricky to get into the "zone" sometimes.
