Pros

Great product, brilliant employees. Good base pay. Health insurance is very, very good.

Cons

Company tries to act like it's still a small startup which hasn't scaled at all, so things are incredibly chaotic. The CEO's lack of industry experience prior to starting Datarobot shows. Flat structure other than a handful of people in senior management leads to a lack of any strong or coherent leadership, especially at the team and domain levels. "Overcommunication" is touted as a core value which in practice leads to ICs having to repeat the same information across half a dozen different channels on a daily basis. Communication between teams isn't formalized at all, leading to massive silos. There is endless pressure to work ridiculous hours. SDLC processes are greatly lacking, and deadlines seem to be arbitrarily decided by upper management. What "career advancement" means at this company is wildly unclear as there is no structure through which to advance. If you try to bring up that the existing culture is getting in the way of good work, you're told "the culture here isn't for everyone" and basically told to leave the company. No bonuses, "unlimited PTO" in practice means "extremely limited PTO," no 401k match. Recent layoffs were incredibly poorly handled and demoralizing.

Fantastic Company for the Tenacious

Pros

DataRobot is a close knit community that is addicted to getting things done. I've never been a part of a team that works this hard; it's inspiring to say the least. DataRobot listens to their employees -- so much to the point that the CEO reviews friction points of employees every single Saturday. I came to DataRobot to be challenged; it's been fantastic so far.

Cons

I work a lot. I work on Saturday. I work on Sunday. I work early mornings and late night.

Pros

Innovative product and amazing customer base. You're surrounded by talented, smart colleagues from around the world.

Cons

The leadership or lack thereof is unfortunately bringing down the company. There is so much potential but employees are often focused on the wrong things such as filling out detailed reports on a daily, weekly, monthly basis that literally nobody reads. Everything is more complicated than it needs to be and processes are created to over engineer every single thing which leads to serious burnout and frustration.
