Pluspunten
WDL offers lots of interesting work if you like data science, economics, or statistics. They partner with a lot of economists at different global institutions and universities so there are a lot of smart people to work with and learn from. Ambitious and hard working people get promoted and rise, multiple people have gone from intern to Senior Data Scientist. I've never felt pressure to not take sick days, and WDL is definitely flexible about "work-cations". I have worked occasionally extra hours on workdays, but only rarely had to work on weekends. The CEO is sharp with numbers and pays a lot of attention to the quality of our data products, which is really refreshing compared to other places I've been, where people will talk endlessly about "AI" but not even really understand how it works or think critically about if their models are making reasonable predictions.
Minpunten
Its fast paced and you don't advance by coasting. As a startup we have to sometimes pivot significantly for good clients.
