Pros

Awesome perks and benefits, a mostly great staff of highly experienced, smart, and friendly people. Work that is interesting and keeps you engaged all the time. Extremely Fast-paced! Clearly great vision by the company founder that continues to lead the company to success and profitability.

Cons

Some members of the DE leadership simply lack the capacity to translate vision into action. Toxic arrogance at some upper circles of leadership that interferes in their ability to solve problems and listen to ideas. This toxic arrogance created disregard for the impact of false messaging to staff members about company plans. ( In simple words; the day leadership says we are doing great, staff members get nervous, knowing it's the opposite and there will be layoffs soon).

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I trust that formulating this review was not easy and I appreciate your vulnerability. It is disappointing to hear about your unfavorable experience at Dataminr. As a mission-driven organization we pride ourselves on positively impacting the lives of our employees. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of our culture, processes, and interactions. As the VP of DEI, I am in agreement that interrupting the insidious impact of bias and the inequities of discrimination require vigilance and dedication at all levels and we are commtted, as an organization to the eradication of both. We believe wholeheartedly in continuous self-improvement as a part of our DEI journey and I would like to understand your employee experience. I welcome and encourage the opportunity to continue this conversation offline, if you’d be open to it. Best, Robin Strup VP, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion rstrup@dataminr.com

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
