Pros

At Dataminr, I'm challenged daily, I feel good about the work I do, and I'm able to maintain a healthy work-life balance. From the beginning, I've enjoyed working with smart people on a product I believe is making a global impact. As the company has grown it's only gotten better with more impressive talent and a more engaged culture. The free lunch every day is an added bonus :)

Cons

There's not a clear path for professional growth

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience here! Feeling challenged every day, feeling good about the impact your work is having around the world, and being able to maintain a healthy work-life balance are three of the most important attributes we hear from candidates, and three areas that I also hold as critical reasons why I personally love my career at Dataminr! I could talk about career paths and growth all day because I feel so passionate about it so I’ll give you a short answer here, but would be happy to grab a coffee and talk more with you anytime! We have spent a lot of time over the past year working to define clear paths for growth within departments and to provide exposure to paths across departments as well. Some of your colleagues have found new opportunities through the mentor program, many of them have attended our quarterly lunch and learns to hear about the amazing work being done across the company, and many more have taken advantage of our individual professional development fund to upskill themselves in critical areas needed for their next step. Sometimes in a smaller, entrepreneurial culture like ours, the best next step is not as obvious because we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach or career ladder. Let’s talk and figure out the best way to craft your personalized next step!

Pros

After several years in the workforce, I can say I really love going to work at Dataminr every day. Many companies don't value their employees in a way that makes them feel like they matter. Dataminr is the complete opposite. Among the many pros of being here, here are just a few: -Great environment -interesting work -amazing perks -good salary -minimal stress level

Cons

Nothing really, but some people may find the flexible work schedule to be difficult.

Pros

Dataminr is the first startup that I've ever worked for and I am so glad that I chose this company. The office is beautiful, the people are friendly and welcoming, and the perks are amazing! I am constantly learning here and there's always work to be done (which is great, in my opinion). My manager is a great team leader and really intelligent, as are most managers here. I love coming to work everyday and being surrounded by such smart and inspiring people. The product at Dataminr is unlike anything I've ever seen and it makes me proud to tell people what we do and how we make a difference all around the world with real-time breaking news discovery. The salary and perks here are unbeatable, Dataminr takes great care of its employees.

Cons

I genuinely don't have anything negative to say. Working at Dataminr is by far my favorite company that I've ever worked for.
