Cool place to work at but not perfect

Research engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Cool technology, great coworkers, meaningful work, can be fully remote.

Cons

There isn't an established career ladder for research engineers which means years of no promotions and a constantly deprecating salary. Office political drama in the office causes teams to fight internally and split off their projects.

Business Outlook

Pros

Dataminr vets scrum and allows time for doing high-level design.

Cons

Horrible product experience, the UI looks like it was built in the 90s. They want to follow scrum but want 100 predictable results. Three verticles with three different UIs. Broken staging environment for devs. The dev-tooling and engineering directors are horrible and are always changing priorities.
