Pros

- This has been the best job of my career in terms of being presented with growth opportunities. Engineering Leadership is thoughtful in cultivating a fair, healthy environment that respects work-life balance. - The people I work with day-to-day are intelligent and eager to grow but also friendly and collaborative. I genuinely enjoy each day because that attitude is prevalent at my level and the management levels above me. - The mission and product are incredibly exciting. It's rewarding to hear about real examples of our work saving lives, and the vision we're working towards is compelling. I truly believe this is a generational product that we will look back on as essential and groundbreaking in years to come. - Engineering has been fully remote the entire time I have worked here. It has been incredible for my mental health, and I am grateful we never forced a return to the office. - Leadership has a long-term outlook and has proved that they take action based on feedback, as evidenced by their increased transparency over the last couple of years.

Cons

- There was a RIF last year. That was a stressful period as we tried to find the right operating model to support our next stage of growth sustainably in the new economic and fundraising environment. Teams were understaffed and had too many projects going on simultaneously. However, I think the company has recognized it was unsustainable, and we've taken steps to improve our focus and workloads across the organization.

Thank you for your positive, constructive review. We take this candid feedback seriously, and we did not take the decision to have two RIFs last year lightly. It was a painful experience for all of us. Looking ahead, we are now seeing a lot of positive momentum. We are invigorated by our product and growth trajectory and look forward to building on our progress. Thank you for your continued contribution to Dataminr's culture and business.
