Pros

You learn a lot about what is happening in the world.

They care less about what staff goes through dealing with tough content. The Company is heading down. They are trying to survive.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We are sorry to hear that your Dataminr experience received such a low rating. We take all feedback seriously and use it as a tool for growth and improvement. However, your statements about our commitment to employee wellness and well-being are not a fair reflection of the priority and investment that Dataminr makes to ensure that our employees are well cared for. Dataminr's benefits support employee wellness and well-being across the entire employee life cycle, including mental health resources like Headspace Care, the on-demand wellness app that provides 24/7 access to a life coach, therapist, or psychiatrist for our employees and their families. Dataminr also offers mental health coverage to all employees who seek outside regular help, such as the use of ‘in-network’ therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, etc. Additionally, we offer robust, programmatic, and best-in-class wellness workshops and trainings through licensed therapists, which are easy to access, and regularly communicated and reviewed. Our wellness and well-being strategy continuously explores ways to support our exceptionally talented and diverse employees because we value, above all else, the contributions of our teammates and the important work that they do supporting Dataminr's mission. Our product and people truly are incredible and we're excited about our vision and path to success! We wish you the best in your next endeavor.

The PTSD is real

Pros

Good benefits, but started disappearing without warning

Cons

The PTSD from this place is real. Leadership is completely incompetent; I'm talking total buffoons who can barely string a sentence together. HR leaders are the worst of them all - huge bloated salaries adding little to no value. You'll live in constant fear of being made redundant. You'll work on something for months only to have it scrapped because they can't align on a strategy. It's a company who values loyalty over competence and brotherhood over getting any real work done. If you're remotely good at your job, they will drain your soul and kick you to the curb.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's regrettable that you left Dataminr with that impression. We prioritize the well-being and dignity of our colleagues and place a great deal of value on the employee experience. We pride ourselves on not only attracting but retaining a workplace community that contributes to the success of the business, enabled by a vibrant, inclusive culture where psychological safety is prioritized and innovation is rewarded. It's important to us that employees feel safe and supported in their work and we have many resources in place to ensure this happens. While I empathize with your sentiment, your characterization of our leadership and People Team is inaccurate and unfounded. Strong and effective management is crucial to our success and to the well-being of our employees, and it is concerning that we did not meet your expectations in this important area. Would you be willing to share the details of your experience with us at hr@dataminr.com? We are dedicated to providing effective management and a supportive work environment for all employees.
