Dataminr Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is regrettable that you left Dataminr with that impression. This review does not comport with our values and mischaracterizes our Dataminr community. In our last employee engagement survey, the overwhelming majority of employees reported that they are proud to work for Dataminr. We take all allegations of bullying and harassment very seriously. We fully support any employee who feels the need to make a report, and we have a robust process for doing so. If there are ever any concerns, the People team is always available at HR@dataminr.com.
