Pros

Working with smart people on interesting projects using the latest tech. Autonomy to get work done and progress through the ranks. Collaborative and fast paced culture.

Cons

Engineering is largely remote so for those who'd prefer to be in an office this may be seen as a con.

Pros

People - the people who work here are truly amazing. Smart, kind, engaged and proactive. Easily the best part. Mission - we get to work on a platform that makes a real difference in people's lives and that means a lot Platform - say what you will, no one does what the Dataminr platform does at the scale and speed. The promise of taking the existing underlying technology and creating new products is exciting, and we have near limitless potential given the data archive we have. I will also say that every boss I have had has been great. They understand the need for work/life balance and have really helped accommodate me during some difficult times.

Cons

Limitations - the company has to make strategic tradeoffs, and those can be frustrating at the working level. Communication - things change quickly, as in any growing and dynamic business, but the leadership does not do the best job of explaining to everyone the when, why, and how of the change.

Pros

Product and people. Dataminr's category-defining AI platform delivers relevant, often life-saving alerts to our clients in real time leveraging otherwise inscrutable public information. Dataminr's employees make it all happen, from incredible engineers and data scientists to the customer facing go-to-market team. Dataminr's clients deeply appreciate the value of our product and our people, helping us forge strong relationships that help grow the business while making it fun to work at here.

Cons

Growing pains as Dataminr matures through prolonged private growth stage toward successful exit. These growing pains are not unique to Dataminr, though a few teammates have jumped to "greener grass" only to find the grass the same color. In fact, Dataminr employees who embrace our culture driver of "find a better way" are encouraged to do just that regarding our business processes. Lots of opportunity here to be part of something big.
