      Big Upside With a Huge Downside

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cool industry, software has a lot of potential in the market place, flexible schedules and working locations, pay was great.

      Cons

      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.

      Many good things

      Sales development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good pay. - Nice facilities. - Good technology. - Okay benefits. Healthcare is great. - Product is amazing. DataRobot cares a lot about people. Our CEO continually talks to the company to share his vision. He encourages people to raise concerns.

      Cons

      The leadership does not have a lot of experience. Many are from when DataRobot was much smaller. Sales is going through many changes. Leaders of departments seem confused about what they can do on their own. There was a lot of press around our new COO to help the company grow though we are unclear what he will do.

      Exciting, challenging and rewarding - but definitely not for everyone

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Incredibly talented co-workers -Mission driven teammates -Autonomy and trust -Limited micro-management -Care for the employees futures DataRobot is most certainly chalk full of people who are incredibly bright, talented, and leaders in their respective fields. This also can create some competition and some negative attitudes amongst teams, but the overwhelming majority of individual contributors are superstars. This makes tackling difficult challenges easy when you can lean on team mates you know have the capabilities and talents to contribute. It can also lead to people getting stretched thin. Another big positive about DataRobot is that you won't get a ton of direction here. People are hired into most roles because they are expected to be able to perform at them, so there isn't a lot of hand holding. For self-starters, this is an excellent environment. You can jump right in on day 1 and contribute. For others that require a lot of direction and hand holding to "ramp up", it can be a challenging course. Some teams are better at onboarding people than others, but you can expect to be doing a lot of self-learning when you start at DataRobot. This to me, is a positive. I would rather have trial by fire than endless corporate trainings. There's also never a lack of work or projects to get involved in. This can again be a negative for some people as it's easy to get over-eager and over-extended in your commitments at DataRobot. For those who want to be busy and stay busy, this is definitely a great place. Hard work is recognized and rewarded.

      Cons

      It's a startup that is going through some growing pains right now with COVID and everything else going on in the world. It's also not the type of place for people with "work-life balance" as a top priority. Again, this is a startup and not for everyone. If you want to hop on board the rocketship as it's taking off, you need to be prepared to strap in and hold on tight. This is not a normal 9-5 job. There are lots of things that will drag you into the late hours and the weekends when you're on a big project. The idea is that you believe in the company and the mission enough that you want to be there in the weeds, pushing things forward and accomplishing goals. If you don't want to put your whole self into your role and your career, then this may not be the place for you. There's lots of negative things being said about how much the company values employees, etc. There is zero question that the company values their employees incredibly high. The amount of investment they have put into their people is staggering, and they continue to do so even in face of having to lay people off. With programs like Dream Big and other initiatives, they are definitely committed to their people. Not everyone was going to make it through the other side of COVID as I would suspect to be the case for a lot of companies, but I personally am confident that they did the best they could to save as many jobs as they could have.
