Very Strong Momentum

Pros

The company's recent product launch has spurred a wave of excitement and momentum which is palpable across the entire business. As a long time employee at the company, attending industry conferences this summer was invigorating - it is clear that the company is leaning into expanding our presence and ramping up go-to-market activity for the end of the year and next year. The product is so helpful to customers, it's great to see more initiatives to increase our exposure in the market. The company has made a lot of personnel changes in the go-to-market organization this year, and it's nice to see everything coalesce and to see such a positive impact in a relatively short period of time. I've been very impressed with the new leaders across the go-to-market organization.

Cons

The layoffs in 2023 were a challenging time, and it was sad to see good people leave the company.

Thank you for sharing your positive employee experience at Dataminr. We are thrilled with our life-saving product and enormous market momentum. The decision to lay off teammates in 2023 was a very difficult one and not made lightly. Organizational strength, visionary executive leadership, and standout employees have us well-positioned for success, and we look toward the future with a great deal of excitement.

The PTSD is real

Pros

Good benefits, but started disappearing without warning

Cons

The PTSD from this place is real. Leadership is completely incompetent; I'm talking total buffoons who can barely string a sentence together. HR leaders are the worst of them all - huge bloated salaries adding little to no value. You'll live in constant fear of being made redundant. You'll work on something for months only to have it scrapped because they can't align on a strategy. It's a company who values loyalty over competence and brotherhood over getting any real work done. If you're remotely good at your job, they will drain your soul and kick you to the curb.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's regrettable that you left Dataminr with that impression. We prioritize the well-being and dignity of our colleagues and place a great deal of value on the employee experience. We pride ourselves on not only attracting but retaining a workplace community that contributes to the success of the business, enabled by a vibrant, inclusive culture where psychological safety is prioritized and innovation is rewarded. It's important to us that employees feel safe and supported in their work and we have many resources in place to ensure this happens. While I empathize with your sentiment, your characterization of our leadership and People Team is inaccurate and unfounded. Strong and effective management is crucial to our success and to the well-being of our employees, and it is concerning that we did not meet your expectations in this important area. Would you be willing to share the details of your experience with us at hr@dataminr.com? We are dedicated to providing effective management and a supportive work environment for all employees.

Pros

- Mission and product that’s motivating to wake up and work towards every day. - Brilliant, empathetic coworkers. - True culture of bringing others along - Most managers will support you on a good work life balance and understanding of commitments outside of work - nice mix of startup culture and more mature resources

Cons

Pay is not the highest end, but it’s still fairly competitive.
