Good benefits mask toxic sales culture

Pros

Good health insurance, unlimited sick leave. Size of the company means fewer solos between sales, product, operations, etc. Undefined roles mean you can wear multiple hats, which can be a fun challenge and great growth opportunity.

Cons

For all the wonderful people around (and a couple bright spots), there are more than a few bad apples (sexist, finger-pointing bullies). And the good people generally refuse to do anything about the bullying and will sideline those who dare to speak up. The women in leadership tend to be either willfully blind or bullies themselves. Your options become to grin and bear it... or leave.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We take allegations of bullying and all forms of harassment very seriously, and all employees should feel safe and supported when making a report. I encourage you to refer to our Ethics & Compliance page on the company intranet which details all the ways (including anonymously) you can report violations to our Code of Ethics & Business Conduct. Please be assured we investigate allegations vigorously and take swift action to hold people to account. It’s incredibly important to me and the rest of the Executive Leadership Team that Dataminr is a place where you can continue to thrive and grow your career. If at any time you would like to discuss, please contact me or the People Team at HR@dataminr. We are always happy to help and support.

Our commitment to building a strong and diverse workforce underpins everything we do, so I’m pleased our efforts are making a difference to you. From the start of the COVID-19 crisis, our first priority has been our people. It’s incredibly important to the Executive Leadership team that everyone feels safe and supported during this time which is why we took decisive action at the earliest stages of this pandemic. We know this is a stressful time for many of our employees, so we encourage everyone to take the time they need to recharge. If that is ever an issue, please reach out directly to me or anyone on the People Team at HR@dataminr.com. We continually strive to do better, and we’ll look to take on board your comments around greater transparency, accountability and how we can improve our approach to strengthening a global mindset among our teams.
