Pros

Good team vibes. You will likely never find a workplace that is as diversed as dataminr. My peers and direct managers were awesome- smart, driven and fun.

Cons

There is no inspiration, no legacy, no passion anymore. The whole company just ...mediocre...

Pros

The product is amazing and saves lives.

Cons

- Terrible leadership that throws their employees under the bus to protect themselves. - Appalling HR - A hidden culture of politics and back stabbing amongst employees. - Terrible Senior leadership in the US who have no understanding of the European landscape and yet are micro managers and treat their employees appallingly.

Avoid unless you’re looking to burnout.

Pros

Catered lunch is a benefit I guess.

Cons

There’s zero communication from the USA senior leadership team. The mid-level management over compensate for this lack of communication with too many mediocre, low-level updates. There are a number of toxic employees who boast about not using paid holiday, working through paid holiday days and working excessive hours outside of what’s reasonable. The Workplace team do a good job of making you feel like you’re valued and have many well being and diversity events, but most employees are so overworked that they don’t have the time to entertain such events. The product is not easy to sell outside the US, there are issues with Sales ops, impacting Sales reps getting remunerated correctly. Roll of the dice if you’re in a good team under a competent manager, if you’re unlucky you’ll often get spoken down to, with a VP taking external stresses out on staff which is humiliating and demeaning.
