Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. Like many high-growth companies, we are constantly working to ensure our people’s skills and passions are matched to the areas where they can make the most impact for our customers. Sometimes this leads to difficult decisions. In every case, our priority is putting people first. Our core values underpin everything we do, and we are always open to be held to account if we fall short. Unfortunately, your characterization of our work is inaccurate. Dataminr stands for social justice and the work we do supports that commitment. I’m very sorry if you felt your experience did not comport with our values. Our separation process follows standard HR best practice and our HR team works very hard to ensure each person is treated with dignity and respect. We encourage anyone with concerns to contact me or the People Team directly at HR@dataminr.com.

Okay for a first job

Pros

The recruiting team is very good, as the domain expert cohort is full of highly qualified people. The misleading statements given during the hiring process as to the scope of the job may be a factor. I also appreciated the unlimited sick leave.

Cons

I cannot speak for other parts of the company, but the domain expert team is a soul-sucking place to land. This is an okay first job if you are in journalism, I suppose, as the pay is better than at a media outlet. If you can, stick it out for a year at most, take your shares, and leave. Turnover is high due to a combination of an inflexible schedule, physically and mentally fatiguing job rhythm, and lack of empowerment from upper management. This failure to keep quality people is blamed on "personal problems " or lack of dedication to mission, as it's "not that bad a place" to work. If you have an analytical bent, you will quickly grow bored and frustrated. Any good ideas you may come up in attempt to enrich your work life will be stolen and repackaged by upper management. Rest assured that most of your coworkers will be actively job-hunting. Perhaps the engineering or sales teams are better, but if you are being recruited for domain expert, seek another option.

They don’t care

Pros

bright and enthusiastic engineers and strategy associates

Cons

CFO is a used car salesman who will pay lip service and talk a great game but is ultimately a self-serving charlatan who will work his team to death and throw everyone under the bus if it serves him. Can’t manage his time nor workload. CSO has no backbone to be a great “holistic” leader. Will be polling ad infinitum because he can’t make a decision to save his life. They pay lip service to DEI but ultimately don’t care when it really matters on an individual level. Very biased and politically toxic place.
