Pros

Met some good people, but nothing else. Compensation WAS good, but then they made us all take HUGE pay cuts after the phony COVID layoff.

Cons

-The madness that really needs to stop is the totally fake "Positive 5-star reviews". Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies. If you are smart, you will see through this. I had 100 negative things to say about DataRobot, but I decided that I don't feel like wasting any time on this company. I am writing this post to check the box and move on. NOTE: There is so much negativity out there on this company around the world, if you decide to go there, you are either desperate or dumb or a combo of both. -The CEO approval was breaking 40% and DataRobot reviews plunged below 3.0 and then the silly "Great company.." "Love this place" reviews started popping up.. -This is Amateur Robot. Company is JV all around. -There is NO plan to go public. Your stock will never be worth anything, -Compensation was good until they made everyone (including admins) take huge pay cuts during the "COVID layoffs" -The layoff during COVID was despicable. The company was doing very poorly BEFORE the pandemic. They were planning layoffs and COVID made a great scapegoat. This is a FACT. -They laid people off in the middle of a pandemic with 30 days HC. Other tech companies that laid-off people had the decency to offer HC for 3-6 months or more. This was a few months after they raised $206m... Things that make you go.. hmmmm... -The new AppD leaders are as toxic as the old leaders. AppD is toxifying the software sales industry. They were successful, once. -The leaders are all toxic. The CEO is a joke. Super embarrassing to hear him speak. He is a nobody. -The CEO set a goal to land 2020 new logos in 2020. So an average of 5.5 new customers every single day of the week. One of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Try holding onto the customers that are heading for the exit. -The core tech is not bad, but REMEMBER, DataRobot is selling algorithms that are already FREE. -MLops should be called MLFLOPS. No one has ever been able to sell this tech. -You must be desperate to join this company. Take a job here if you have ZERO other options, but be prepared to not make any money, and then need to find a new job in 9-12 months. -Salespeople throughout history at DataRobot have almost all been failures. They are all leaving because it's not possible to make money. Ask them about performance. Its the worst I have ever seen in my career. -I bet there are more layoffs in the works. Customers are not renewing and reps are not selling and their burn rate is SKY high. BTW - the Ukraine office is SHADY AF. -Again, their technology houses FREE open source algorithms. Why would you pay for this? I would not touch this awful place with a 1,000-foot pole. You are dense if you think this a good place to work, and I can not help you. You need to help yourself. Good luck!
