Pros

- Good work life balance - Great benefits - Smart colleagues - Flexible with wfh

Cons

Decision making and planning by leadership has been poor, leading to multiple rounds of layoffs in 2023. I managed to survive the first round but not the second. It was very demoralizing and heartbreaking to see such great people cut the way that they were. It was great until it wasn't, and I unfortunately believe that Dataminr has already peaked and is now on a downward trajectory.

We recognize, however, that this does not lessen the impact it had on you. We are grateful for your contributions to Dataminr and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
