This company is definitely a rocket ship, growing like crazy and will be public company one day. Love working with incredibly smart, fun hard working people on really interesting work.
Cons
The DataSift culture is pretty intense and fast moving. If you are looking for a slow day job, this probably isn't your place.

I have a little more than 1.5 years at DataSift under my belt now, and I must say that the company keeps surprising me in a very positive way. As with all start ups there are ups and downs, long hours of hard work solving incredible challenges, but hey - that is what I signed up for, so what's not to like.
I am constantly learning new things.
I have more fun in this job than I have ever had in school or professionally.
Holiday's are a pain as they rob me from my ability to work - yes, a bit on the edge, gut it is actually super cool to work in a place where you catch yourself missing work while on holiday.
Anyways, DataSift is on an incredible journey, paving new paths in the art of big data and data science.
Cons
The teams are split across geography (San Francisco, New York and London), which makes decision making, communication and team work more challenging than a single location would.
