Pros
- CEO is very direct and can sometimes be seen as harsh. It is just that he has high standards and knows what he wants. Many of us have faith in his leadership and his immediate management team, and believe in the bright future of our company - DataRobot product and customer support teams are best-in-class. We wow our customers with the product's new features and are way ahead of our closest competitors in automated machine learning. We appeal to different types of personas, such as business leaders and analysts, in addition to data scientists - and many customers are passionate about us, you will see them wearing DataRobot T-shirts and having DataRobot swag with them very often - Of course results ultimately matter, but DataRobot has a culture where you are obligated to work super hard and collaborate well with our coworkers. This place is filled with amazing people I like to work with
Cons
- Force reduction because of COVID-19 came as a surprise and upset many good people that were let go. It could have been better managed, and was a major disruption to our ambitious plans. Things seem to be on track now - Constant changes to Go-To-Market plans - pricing, processes, people, partners can really wear customer-facing teams down. It will be good to test new GTM plans on a small scale first before doing a bigger rollout - Some corporate functions will need improvement. HR is overloaded and Finance struggle to deal with exceptions
