Dataminr reviews

- The job is incredibly stressful: You are required to always be on with no downtime, and you see and read horrifying things - You are required to do a lot of extra work for no pay: You work eight hours, plus you are expected to attend meetings, read briefing emails and work on projects and assignments outside those hours. You definitely don't receive anything like a lunch hour, with all food consumed at desks - The hours are very unsociable: DEs work late hours, weekends and federal holidays and it's difficult to see family and friends - At lot of the people in the company feel that they have been mis-sold the job they were taking on - There's not much room for growth: Dataminr are taking on new people but almost all the positions available are for new Domain Experts - Pay: There are huge disparities between DEs and yearly pay raises are limited

- Short/no breaks, lunch eaten at desk while working - All employees scheduled to work full weekends twice a month - Non-existent work/life balance - Shift changes every month - Have to deal with violent and graphic content without any work-led support - Extra responsibilities with no extra pay; attending meetings, must do extra projects sometimes outside of office hours, must read frequent work e-mails outside of work. - Pay disparity between employees in the same role - Employees are asked to write positive Glassdoor reviews during induction before they even know the role. - No progression, management seems reluctant to offer promotion opportunities preferring to hire from outside
