Thank you for writing a review. We are proud of our Total Rewards offering to employees. One of our priorities has always been and will continue to be, ensuring that employees and their families feel supported and cared for during their time at Dataminr. However, we are disappointed to hear that you do not feel respected as an employee at Dataminr. We value our employees and understand the importance of feeling respected and rewarded for your unique contributions. Last year's decision to conduct layoffs was a difficult one and was not made lightly. While those measures were necessary, we understand the feelings of uncertainty and concern that accompany them and are committed to strengthening our internal support systems and communications to support our teams during challenging times.
