Pros

Outstanding colleagues, meaningful work, free healthcare, free meals, TASC, and free snacks. You'd love it here if you thrive under pressure and like being challenged.

Cons

There were cons that emerged beginning of 2018 related to clear career-pathing, promotions, and time off. The leadership addressed these problems although I wish they addressed them earlier. Nevertheless, if you have been around you know many companies would not care and end up loosing everyone.

Pros

Fast-paced work environment similar to a breaking newsroom Team atmosphere within domain experts cultivates strong relationships and friendships outside of work Multiple female managers which is rare for a technology company Opportunities for advancement upwards and to transition to different areas of the company for domain experts who go the extra mile Shift work allows for good work life balance with little work outside of shift hours Ample vacation days (to compensate for possibility of working on holidays) Good office perks including free lunch, snack room, cold brew, la croix Professional development money per year Great healthcare

Cons

Weekend and holiday shifts are required Changes from upper management can come at times without much advanced notice to the DE team C-suite executives do not interact with domain experts

Pros

I had my anniversary at Dataminr a few weeks ago and I honestly could not be happier. I am part of a great team, have friends throughout the organization from varying departments and I make good money working with a product that I can genuinely get excited about. While this may not be my true ikigai it's coming close. -Great pay -Work-life balance -Meritocracy -Smart coworkers -I like what I do -A product that is completely one of a kind, we don't really have true competitors... -Under-rated perks like full-access to the work desk setup of your dreams -Other standard startup perks like happy hours, food in office etc.

Cons

-Communication between departments can lack on occasion. -Lack of support for fringe efforts, mostly due to being a (late-stage) startup and not yet having the full processes in place for new ideas or ideas that are on the fringe of core company value. This is improving every day though. -A few of our largest clients can dominate development needs, for good reason, but can cause hold ups if you are outside of that as I am and need something in a rush. -Used to have bi-monthly office massages, this stopped just before I joined and still sad about it.
