One of the worst companies to work for assistant-wise.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, pay, some of the people are nice/humble

Cons

Ego-centric leadership, "people" team that very obviously protects the company & not the employees, layoffs, no transparency at all, obvious favorites, etc. It's just not worth it. There are so many other companies that truly value their assistants and treat them well- this just isn't one of them.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. I'm truly disheartened that your experience at Dataminr was so negative. We work really hard to make our culture here positive and inclusive, and I'm sorry that wasn't your experience. I'll add that the EA's at Dataminr are the best, and we value and appreciate all of them!

Pros

- Well paid - Generous commissions - Comprehensive ebablement and onboarding - Well resourced - AI and product market leading

- Hierarchal and bureacratic - massiely over-reliant on Twitter - overhired, panicked, over-fired - reversed 15 months of international expansion in 1 week - Built way too much sales capacity for the TAM in Corporate Risk

Pros

- Friendly people - Collaborative work environment where you can hop on call with someone at any time - Opportunity for ownership and leadership

Cons

- Due to there being 50-100 developers across 10+ teams, there is a decent amount of friction in project planning and project orchestration for projects spanning multiple teams - Early project kickoff meetings can be wasteful of developers time - Flip flopping on priorities - Occasional lack of leadership from product team
