Pros

This is my first job working at a start-up, and I am very happy I chose Dataminr. The company is very ambitious - creating new products that weren't possible a few years ago and pushing into big, complicated and demanding markets. Teams are routinely faced with interesting challenges as the company moves forward - which makes for a lively and creative work environment. The CEO and management team are good at conveying the broader mission and vision of the company - which helps keep everyone focused on the big picture. The company goes out of its way to offer great benefits to employees - from culture perks like lunches, snacks fun team sports to fully covered health insurance, and personal development support.

Cons

The company has some start-up growing pains, with some processes and functions still a work in progress, but for the most part the company is aware of them.

Pros

The company has a product that clients really really love & there is so much potential for it. People have low egos, are very smart and work really hard. A lot of good people doing great things and people love coming to work.

Cons

Priorities can sometimes change around very, though the overall direction is great. Some growing pains as the company has scaled fast, but great senior management additions have brought a lot more structure. We are having a lot of revenue growth this year and our CEO signed some amazing game-changing mega contracts.

Pros

I straight up love working at Dataminr. The people here are kind, intelligent and hard working. I'm constantly working on interesting projects that expand my skills and experiences. My manager is an excellent coach and always puts her team first, as do so many of the managers here. The leadership is collaborative and approachable. The company cares so much about it's people -- from comfortable salaries, $2500/year to pursue professional development, to career coaching, to free health insurance, to free lunch every day, learning events, charity initiatives and social events, you can't help but feel wonderful about working hard for the organization. And we do incredible work - our product is one of a kind and changing the game for a lot of businesses.

Cons

The CEO is barely visible -- we only see him once per quarter when he speaks at the town hall. Thankfully all of our other executives are very hands on and you can interact with them every day. They really set the culture since our CEO is often absent.
