Pros

Seemingly laid back culture, snacks

Cons

Work is not intellectually challenging. Can't tell if product actually works. Promotions based on favoritism, not merit. Many layoffs for political reasons. There are a lot of fake reviews here about how great Dataminr is to work (none of my coworkers liked it here), which should be a warning sign by itself. Very suspicious of the company and leadership.

Pros

Dataminr's product is absurdly cool and world-changing, but it's people are the reason that I'm giving it five stars. Everyone I spoke to was supportive, interesting, and passionate about what they were doing. The result is a happy team atmosphere where employees can really grow. I would work there again in a heartbeat!

Cons

I really cannot think of any

Pros

Dataminr is small/medium sized company with large-company sized engineering challenges due to the requirements of processing large volumes of data in real-time. For Data Scientists and Machine Learning-oriented Software Engineers, Dataminr has many interesting data problems. Engineers quickly develop ways-of-work that are compatible with the large-scale data and real-time nature of the problems we are trying to solve. The engineering team is small enough that we have many opportunities to make improvements rapidly. It is especially satisfying to bring new ideas from the concept stage through to production in order to improve the product.

Cons

This may not always be a con, but being self-directed and resourceful seem to be important attributes for engineers.
