Severance at places, poor DS culture, but many great people

Data scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- income, especially if you joined at the right time - there ARE great people here, especially on the ENG side of things - it is much less vertical than alternative big tech places, this is true - you can move around every year, trying to find a better fit and seeing more of meta — it is diverse

Cons

- severance vibes are there, praise Mark - DS culture is super degenerated — hiring process does not even check actual knowledge and experience you need to do meaningful DS work - overall focus on efficiency leads to visibility being more important than value, especially in DS roles. Combined with the previous point this leads to very poor results often - reorgs never stop, never - job security is a lie
