Pros

Work challenges, fun & games, (very) talented people. Unique culture that makes you feel part of something bigger than just 'work'.

Cons

Perks could be better. Company has start-up mentality, but is probably a bit beyond that stage why you would expect a set of core benefits that currently aren't there, i.e. pension contribution, health insurance (UK only) etc.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. DataSift is in the process of improving the UK benefits scheme. So be on the lookout for information on pension contributions, PMI and Season Ticket Loan programs in the coming weeks.

Pros

Team oriented collaborative culture is the secret to our success, along with fully engaged, energized and forward thinking supportive leadership; and great people. Plenty of autonomy to be creative and innovative in my job.

Cons

None unless you don't take well to a fast paced open environment where continued change is a certainty and opportunity is plentiful for innovative thinker/doers.

Thank you for the feedback. I think most employees would agree that one of the greatest positive aspects of DataSift is the smart people and great technology. I'm glad this employee took the time to share cons, as well as pros, of working at DataSift. Other people have also expressed concern about the benefits package (UK specifically). These concerns have been brought to management's attention and are being addressed. More information will be shared on GlassDoor after being properly communicated internally.
