Pros

Dataminr's mission is really inspiring and forging a new path in real-time news discovery! The company has also come a long way recently in creating a great work environment. Free meals, great perks, fun events and a new space that foster collaboration across the entire company.

Cons

No significant downsides other than the normal growing pains of a hyper growth company. Constant change, including some employee turnover, but mostly for the positive. Also probably not the right company for those who don't enjoy a fast paced ever evolving environment.
