Incompetency, Favoritism, and Intimidation

Pros

Mid- and Junior-level employees were amazing. Smart, hard-working, customer-centric.

Cons

Senior leadership is out of touch, lacks transparency, and rarely communicates major product and people changes promptly. Strategic direction changes at the drop of a hat. As a people manager, I was regularly discouraged from communicating with my own team. Favoritism rules. Senior leaders continue to toe the line of harassment and discrimination, particularly with employees with minority backgrounds. There were several layoffs in 2023, yet they are still hiring in some areas - why not interview current employees for those positions first?

Be very wary of leadership

Pros

Interesting product but after 10+ years the company still hasn't figured out how to sell it well. Strong benefits package. People for the most part are really nice and good to work with.

Cons

If you are checking out Dataminr, know that there have been multiple rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months when the President/COO and senior leadership insisted that the company was in good financial standing and employees had nothing to worry about. Dataminr has changed significantly and it is not the place it used to be. Favoritism is rampant, people get promoted without structure. Executive leadership is nowhere to be seen, especially when things are bad.

Poor leadership and business strategy decisions lead this once thriving company down bad path

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance, nice to contribute to a good purpose, supportive managers, nice co-workers

Cons

This company used to be full of growth prospects and fresh venture capital funding to chase its dreams and goals. Unfortunately, leadership insisted on siloing each department from each other, forcing employees to act like other departments don't exist. This ended up halting any innovation or ideas from lower-level employees, and forced everyone to accept the business plans from our executives. Unfortunately, leadership has not seemed to develop many new successful ideas recently. Ultimately, this lead to a huge reduction in force, and reduced employee benefits. And then the executives barely took any blame for the lack of success at the company, aside from the CEO, who was willing to take accountability.
