Pros

You do get some cool gadgets when you start there but only if you are developer. No one else matters to the company or it's management team. You can tweet and use facebook at work but be warned they change the rules from underneath you. If you like working in a silo this is a great place to work!

Cons

The company is disorganized, has no direction, mangement is virtually zero and their focus is on technical masterpieces and not on making money. There is no strategy being lead from the senior management team and the company desperately needs VC funding. The product is not unique and as a result there are competitors in the US that are more forward thinking with a better leadership team so they need to look after their staff and provide the benefits and services that you would expect form a company of this size looking to make waves.

I cannot argue whether or not this was valid feedback in 2011 since it was before I joined DataSift, but a lot has changed since the!. DataSift is well funded; having received a $15MM series B round in November 2012 and a $42MM series C round in November 2013. A SVP of Marketing has recently been hired to lead the marketing function and address some of the points mentioned about unique value proposition, etc. Finally, salaries have risen to be very competitive in the marketplace and additional benefits are in the works. More details soon.
