Pros
There are some very smart people here that are passionate and capable. There is good company growth potential.
Cons
Many of the very smart people here are straight out of academia and occasionally don’t really have the people skills to build trust or work on larger projects. People work a lot... on a lot of things... but they don’t work smart and often don’t ask questions of their colleagues for fear of looking dumb. So a lot of busy work (especially building McKinsey style PowerPoint decks on what you’re going to be doing - Tufte would die) but not a lot of productive work. If you’re into solid, repeatable/commercial science, or big data there really isn’t that much - there’s good potential in the future for it. The behavioral economics side of the business seems more promising at the moment.
