Pros

Before the 2020 layoffs, the Domain Expert team was a fascinating collection of intellectually curious people who are polyglots, experts in all fields of knowledge, and keen observers of global situations. The company has since moved in a different direction.

Cons

Management obsessed over employee survey results without taking substantial action or making lasting changes. They also lied about building a “career path” before laying off a good chunk of us all at once.

Thank you for your review. Our Domain Expert team is still a fascinating collection of people with varied backgrounds and experiences that are vital to what we do. Dataminr is a fast-growing company and like all businesses, sometimes we have to make extremely difficult decisions which we never take lightly. Our investment in the career development of our people is on-going. We are proud of the career paths that we have created, and are pleased to see them being leveraged as part of Dataminr's bi-annual review process and Individual Development Plan (IDP) conversations. It is absolutely our intention to share our growth journey with as many people as possible.
