Between angry reviews and fake reviews - the truth is somewhere is the middle

Pros

1. The core product is way more advanced than anything else in the market. There is an opportunity to change the paradigm and make AI pervasive in all businesses. 2. The CEO is visionary and inspiring. He wants both the product and the company to be different. This is ambitious and exciting. 3. The company was always distributed, opportunities to work from pretty much anywhere. You could be working from a van in Colorado or a beach in Thailand. As long as you work hard. 4. Customers find value in the solution and business was doing very well (we'll see with COVID)

Cons

1. General lack of experience at execs & vp level. Lots of cash burnt in trial & error - so basically training those folks. Good for them but we now urgently need to take the company to the next level. 2. Everyone in the trenches new that we were adding too many people and burning too much money last year. Which led to the layoffs largely discussed in other reviews. 3. The organization is generally inefficient with more and more processes, leads to a lot of frictions and unnecessary work.

Big Upside With a Huge Downside

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.

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.
