Pros

Dataminr is by far the best employer I've worked for. Anyone who is ready for a challenge, ready to get stuck in, and up for putting the work in will thrive here - there are many opportunities for advancement, and management recognise talent and contribution. Employees are treated with respect. Conditions, perks, and benefits are of a very high standard. Great team of committed people to work with.

Cons

Working in a start-up type environment, you need to be ready to handle change and to adapt to (and embrace) shifts in how things are done. For some this is a down-side, for others, it's an up-side. If you're ready to run with it, it's a great opportunity to shape how things are done and leave your mark on a growing company.

A great place to work

Pros

- Incredible product which is making a real difference for clients across the world - High calibre and diverse staff - As a company growing at incredible speed, lots of opportunities for career development (although like all small companies, many of these are not always visible - lots of new roles and management positions are being created as the company grows) - So many opportunities to learn and create....if you want to put the hours in (some do, some don't - there is very little pressure) - Innovation and hard-work that contribute to the company are rewarded heavily - Incredible perks - free lunch, great snacks, healthcare - Senior management seem to care about their people, although messaging and process is not always perfect

Cons

- Like any company that grows this quickly, staff do not always get the clarity they would get from big companies, but this is changing - Most staff are professional, hard-working and want to contribute; but some do appear to be in Dataminr solely for the good work-life balance - C-suite leadership not as visible as other Tech companies
