Pros

Smart colleagues, sense of unity between low level employees, nice office.

Cons

Objectives are listed purely numerically, which makes you feel like a factory worker... quantity is valued over quality. No real path to growth as a DE unless you want to stay in that area and do exactly what you are told (no innovation, no creativity)— it’s not for everyone due to many many flashing screens, incessant noise, and very uncomfortable hours that impact sleep and mental health, but don’t dare suggest you may have skills elsewhere... You are told when you can eat and when you can take a break. Very controlling.

Pros

- Great culture - Very inclusive - Very good package for what was asked of you

Cons

- Senior management make it very hard to sell the product - Marketing are useless and have no clue how to market the product and were focussing their time in the wrong areas, adding 0 value. - No clear progression - Completely overhired last year which led to many good people being made redundant - Senior management never listen or even try to listen to the people on the front lines to see what isn't working and what needs to be changed; Some minor changes last year could've transformed the performance of the business.

Thank you for sharing the pros and cons of your experience working at Dataminr. Our senior leadership team appreciates hearing candid feedback and we always strive to apply this information for future business planning. Economic conditions made it difficult for many tech companies to avoid reductions and we took every step to minimize the impact. It was a difficult time for the company and most importantly for those impacted. I do wish you well as you move on to new opportunities and a great future ahead.
