Pros

Lots of work to do!

Cons

Managers play into favorites. If you're lucky then you'll go fast. If not, you'll strike out.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities for overtime.

Cons

No 15 minute breaks. Hover work culture when it comes to management and getting projects done. No sense of real team culture because of remote work.

Pros

By far the sharpest group of people you will ever have the pleasure of working with and learning from. Team of Domain Experts (DEs) rit large are driven and incredibly supportive of one another. Benefits are great (in theory).

Cons

The epitome of the "fake it, til you make it" motto of many tech companies. As the human element, there is a sense that the executive leadership wishes that the DE org didn't exist. The organization went lean in fall 2020 without offering any significant changes in salaries, benefits, or management style to those who were kept on. Layoffs went hand-in-hand with a lockdown on internal communications after the company received bad press during BLM protests, resulting in an atmosphere of fear and anxiety. More than a year later, trust in leadership remains low, rates of burnout are high and expectations are unrealistic in demanding humans to perform as if they were computers. If you're going to join the DE org, ensure that you already have your next step planned- outside of Dataminr. Once you hit a wall in this role, it's terribly difficult to recover.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Although it’s not reflective of the leadership team’s genuine belief in the essential work of the domain expert organization, your feedback matters and lets us know that we have more work to do. In the last two years we have committed to and invested in strengthening our internal communications channels as well as making career growth at Dataminr limitless. As for our DEI initiatives – there’s nothing false about it. We’ve been transparent with our teams about demographical data and our long and short term strategies to make Dataminr a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture. From leadership training, management programs, and incentivized referrals to growing the number of employee resources groups and their resources to support our increasingly diverse team –– we’re committed to doing the work. We’ve substantially revised our benefits to ensure that employees are being supported throughout their personal and professional lives. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss your experience. As mentioned, we know we have work to do. We have internal channels for feedback like this so we can collaborate and improve closer to real-time.
