Pros
Best in class AutoML. Great product. Great people managers. Flexible, understanding, and upbeat. Very collaborative culture. Everyone is happy to help. Everyone is super smart and accomplished in their own way. Cool people to be around!
Cons
Leadership is clueless. For example, Chief sales officer sends an email on May 1 that we exceeded our targets, only for DataRobot to layoff 7% of its task force on May 10. Cannot blame this on being a start-up... we have been in business for 10 years, we should have ironed out all teething problems and poor planning practices. The sad reality is we clearly missed chance to go public :( CEO is timid, uninspiring, aloof, and does not instill any confidence in leading the company. He keeps saying that DataRobot will be the next google yet has nothing to show for how this vision will materialize except fancy slides showing we are doing better than other start-up companies at this stage.
