Pros

Truly passionate, fun, and dedicated colleagues

Cons

Dataminr has began laying off people and they are doing it in disrespectful, abrupt and demeaning way People used to pour themselves into this place because they felt respected but things have taken a sharp turn recently You may hear that AI has gotten so good that they had to lay off people whose jobs could be automated. This is not the truth and no, we are not that close to singularity If you have self respect and do not want to deal with childish, infantilizing and truly disconnected leadership, you may want to look somewhere else for a job.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. Like many high-growth companies, we are constantly working to ensure our people’s skills and passions are matched to the areas where they can make the most impact for our customers. Sometimes this leads to difficult decisions. In every case, our priority is putting people first. Our core values underpin everything we do, and we are always open to be held to account if we fall short. Unfortunately, your characterization of our work is inaccurate. Dataminr stands for social justice and the work we do supports that commitment. I’m very sorry if you felt your experience did not comport with our values. Our separation process follows standard HR best practice and our HR team works very hard to ensure each person is treated with dignity and respect. We encourage anyone with concerns to contact me or the People Team directly at HR@dataminr.com.
