Suspicious

Pros

Seemingly laid back culture, snacks

Cons

Work is not intellectually challenging. Can't tell if product actually works. Promotions based on favoritism, not merit. Many layoffs for political reasons. There are a lot of fake reviews here about how great Dataminr is to work (none of my coworkers liked it here), which should be a warning sign by itself. Very suspicious of the company and leadership.

Not a good time to join

Pros

Hard to think of any if I'm being honest. I would have said colleagues, but in hindsight they also are very callous.

Cons

Company's isn't hiring or promoting like they used to anymore. This stagnant growth is causing many to lash out against their surroundings. Racist and misogynistic treatment by managers, culture of bullying and putting others down to make yourself feel better, ever increasing workload with no end in sight, allergy to transparency or accountability, and rampant nepotism. In short, people see no opportunity for growth and they start taking it out on others. Likewise the leaders are delusional, thinking they are Palantir or the military when they have never operated at that level or scale. The result is a CEO and COO who do not feel the need to address staff, speaking only on one-way calls at All Hands meetings to an employee base that could fit in a Zoom call. The best time to have joined Dataminr was 5-7 years ago when they had money and embraced new ideas. Today, the organization feels stagnant and bankrupt.
