DataRobot reviews

-DataRobot, like many tech companies, claims to want to make the world a better place. Unfortunately the amount of business done with payday loan companies shows just what kind of world it really wants. -SDR Specific I can't speak to other positions at the company but feel free to read the other reviews (not the ones spammed on here by current employees). If you are an SDR looking to join this company or not currently an SDR but wish to be one, know this before accepting a role here.- if you want to be a sales rep one day you will be much better served working somewhere else. DataRobot has passed the early stage start up phase where it would be worth it(stock) to deal with sloppy process, unclear metrics that are misaligned with compensation and managers that are struggling to understand their role as much as the people they manage. -As an SDR the "training" you will receive has not been competently updated or reviewed since at least 2018. You will not receive opportunities to develop any sales skills outside of the ones required to be an SDR. Yes I understand the importance of prospecting in sales, but at some point you have to be able to interact live with potential customers and at DR that is entirely handled by sales reps. -Do not expect to ever advance to sales rep at this company. During the interview they will likely mention that SDRs have advanced. 5 total since the company started. The most recent only after significant blowback from the entire SDR team and a mass layoff of the North American based Sales Development team. -Everything at DataRobot begins and ends with the question what can we do that won't anger Jeremy (CEO). The problem with this is Jeremy is temperamental, does not have a good read of the market or where its heading (see continuous drastic changes in the way the product is marketed that are alway a step behind the competitors), and lacks any ability to empathize with both his own employees and the people who will potentially benefit from the product. -While DataRobot claims to be a place that encourages its employees to work on projects that they are passionate about, what they really mean is to bust your butt trying to make overly complicated processes, created by people who wont use them, work in a day to day business applications.

True workaholic culture where nights and weekend work is very common. A lot of lip service around putting the employee first, but after hiring 600 people in one year, they fired 300 of them once the stock market crashed. The CEO wanted to have life changing financial impact on its employees and he succeeded by cutting the company after mismanaging its growth.
