Terrible org

Pros

Smart people and great perks.

Cons

Terrible senior management and structure of the org. Lack of communication from the US leadership team and micromanagement from the mid managers. Product is only nice to have. Some departments are favoured based on what market/product you work on. Can be made suddenly redundant.

Pros

Fast-paced, challenging work environment full of incredibly smart people. Very team-oriented and collaborative, which makes the day-to-day experience both fun and interesting. The work has real-life, tangible impact. Dedication, innovation and hard work are rewarded. Free lunches, team outings, good perks.

Cons

Some occasional growing pains due to the nature of being a startup, but if you're up for being versatile and thinking on your feet, the changes usually end up on the positive side when all is said and done.

I have recently started working in Dataminr new office in Dublin

Pros

It's an amazing opportunity to start a career in a fast-paced, news-centered environment. The Dublin office is very new and quite small and everyone is very friendly, helpful and welcoming, so the atmosphere is amazing. However, it is not just about the Dublin office, the company itself cares for the employees and strives to provide everything we need. During my training I have been trained by several Senior Managers from other offices. They took very personalized approach with me and as far as I've experienced the company always encourages employees to directly contact any of their staff including Senior Manages and VPs. Every employee's opinion is valued and listened to. It's a very achievement-driven company and the perks are amazing and nothing like I have ever seen before in any other job. It's so extremely encouraging and gives you so many different opportunities to be creative and develop your own interests within Dataminr, as well as professional growth.

Cons

The interview process is a bit lengthy (but totally worth it). I haven't spotted anything else so far and neither have my colleagues.
