Pros
The technology is outstanding, however the company hasn't figured out what problems to solve with it.
Cons
DataRobot let go over 30% of its staff in April 2020. The company forced people to publicly share that they were let go due to Covid, however the reality is that this was planned for months. The founders did a great job raising money and riding the AI hype train. But the company has no "go-to-market". Great tech that doesn't have a clear problem to solve is unfortunately not good enough to build a business. There may still be time to save it... but the CEO and friends will need to step aside.
