Pros

Cool technology, great coworkers, meaningful work, can be fully remote.

Cons

There isn't an established career ladder for research engineers which means years of no promotions and a constantly deprecating salary. Office political drama in the office causes teams to fight internally and split off their projects.

Pros

The tech is really good Benefits package is good

Cons

Dataminr obviously peaked too soon and has been unable to sustain the heights it reached a few years back when it was the next hot to-be-IPO on the horizon. Since then the strategy seems to have been throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. Even though I've avoided lay-offs, it's been infuriating watching what's happened with Dataminr's attempts at Cybersecurity and Brand Risk. Pretty much all the folks hired for Cyber are gone (both voluntary and by layoff) and the Brand reps were just let go after roughly 9 months - hired to sell a product that was barely in beta, seemingly without any roadmap. How do you hire people to specialize in a product without a plan? It's infuriating to watch. The recklessness and irresponsibility is beyond belief. These are peoples livelihoods that are being played with because management is inept and constantly needs to lay people off to remedy their countless errors.

Pros

Co workers are some of the smartest and nicest people I had ever met.

Cons

Management has no vision. There's no transparency in the company, from promotion to even the product. There is also a history of questionable treatment towards staff coming from minority backgrounds.
