      Crap mobility

      Pros

      Interesting product, especially for those interested in AI for good.

      Cons

      Upward mobility is absolutely impossible. Leadership is so conservative with team growth. Especially if you’re early in your career, this is no place to grow. Also the product is unusually hard to sell since it’s a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have. Marketing is ineffective so you really do it all yourself.

      Tough culture

      Pros

      Flexible work arrangements including remote options. Strong and active affinity groups for women, veterans, etc. Meaningful company mission. Mostly good, hard working people to work with. Fun employee activities. Decent health benefits and restricted stock options.

      Cons

      Unengaged and uncommunicative senior leaders. Hard to move quickly. There are a lot of stops and starts and changes. Very inefficient. My work bff says we move fast to go slow. Secretive, untrusting culture. In some roles, it can be very hard to stay inspired and motivated. Career growth here is not well defined.

      Our senior leaders are genuine in their intent to foster a mission driven culture where all employees feel valued and supported through programs like our many employee resource groups, employee events, and our comprehensive benefits package. I welcome a conversation with you to discuss the areas that concern you have provided in more depth, and to share information about our career pathing, and the variety of training programs Dataminr offers in the areas of leadership, management development as well as our professional development fund. I hope to hear from you soon.

      Pros

      -- A wonderfully diverse and smart team to work with every day. I love the DEs I work with and the whole office shares a real sense of camaraderie. -- We get to experience working at the cutting edge of breaking information, which is great for those with a love for news and current affairs. -- We help to create a product that has genuinely proven it can save lives. -- Solid perks/benefits. -- Since I started, our technology has improved out of sight. Recent advancements in our AI have been incredible. To be clear, as per the Cons below, no company is perfect and this is no exception. But I would say every day presents a new challenge, and not in a bad way. From what I have seen, the best performers are those who are willing to be flexible, try new things and come up with new ways to do things better. Unsurprisingly, those DEs are usually the ones that are promoted. I'm here because I love this job and the opportunity it provides.

      Cons

      -- Seattle hours are 15:00 - 23:00 and that is tough on anyone with a family, or wanting a social life. -- Communication needs to keep improving. DEs are not always kept entirely in the loop about what major changes are coming.
