Best company I've worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

- Arguably the best group of people I have ever worked with. Insanely brilliant, enthusiastic and kind - Very ambitious hyper-growth start-up looking to settle as one of the best real-time alerting platforms in the market - Employees get a decent amount of autonomy and a good range of resources to develop their own ideas and skills - Entrepreneurial at all levels -> If you are not prepared to wear many hats, show initiative, or dive into problems as soon as you see them then this is not the place for you

Cons

Given the very dynamic work environment, the company should look at opportunities to periodically review career progression across all levels

Pros

Dataminr has been a great place for me to grow in my expertise, and career wise. There are many, many ways for people who work hard and have ideas to make a mark for themselves here. Great sense of purpose as we build a meaningful product that has amazing real world impact. Our team is a passionate bunch of people and I love working with them everyday.

Cons

There are the usual growing pains of any fast growth company. I would advise to see this as a challenge and an opportunity which will both be fairly short lived as we go through this period of the company's life.
