Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

I understand why they don’t do classroom instruction. The kinds of skills that are universally practical enough to populate a class (SQL, Python, R) are already ubiquitous among professionals in the field, while the more advanced skills professionals are seeking are probably too niche or asynchronous to warrant a class, and likely too expensive to bring in the experts/PhDs who would lead it.
Learn on your own. Tons of more valuable learnings than the bs they had when I was at KPMG.
Actually care about developing real technical skills. It’s hard to do when the leaders are non technical in nature and just know high level enough to BS talk to clients.
Just the nature of consulting and hence why I peft
Used a mix of MOOCs and senior folks giving talks about applications. Worked well I think. Did stats differently, contriving applied examples for the class.
Semi-related rant, realized that counting methods are useless to know directly. Asking someone to do a combinations question has pretty much zero value beyond building intuition for what discrete distributions are. Would never teach again outside a setting where proofs matter, nor would ask in interview.
There are definitely more than just e learnings… Data Literacy program definitely has its flaws but after level 1 you get instructor led trainings and work on a pro bono. Then after that you can get ML exposure through MIT or UC Irvine partnerships.
These were trash. UC Irvine just teaches you high level stuff to talk about it. No actual hands on
Subscriptions to datacamp, Coursera, cloudguru are definitely value adds. Having 40 hrs of personal development time set aside as a billable code would be ideal. In person classes can be a waste unless structured to be applied to particular accounts.
Interesting… And I agree.
We (Nordic country) have introductory classroom training and have just launched a technical class room style training for everyone in our team. Participation from associate to director.
We have also proposed AI/ML training programs for other partner firms who want to kick-start their ML practice or bring it to the next level.
Feel free to ping me if you want to know more.
