Datameer Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Datameer full-time for more than a year

Pros – Market leading company that is continually pushing innovation in analytics. Very unique technology approach gives a competitive advantage against all of the wannabes coming to the space. Datameer is moving fast but with a vision to leverage Hadoop and make analytics available to lost more business people. Great place to work, great team attitude and its fun working with the extended team around the world and with customers.

Cons – None really, the market is moving fast so its challenging but that is what a leading startup is all about.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep focused on the vision and keep pushing to make customers successful and the rest will take care of itself.

Pros – People oriented - Datameer works with you to make sure that you can concentrate on your work. That might mean leaving early, working a different schedule or getting married in the office. But we truly care about our colleagues.
Great people - I've made great friends at Datameer, at other places I've always just had 'colleagues'.
Constant learning - I've learned more at this job than anywhere else. There are always people around who are ready to help if you ever have a question. Every month we have a 'geekOut' where we work on furthering our knowledge of topics we don't use at work every day.
Great amenities - Coffee, foosball table, massages, language lessons.

Cons – Geographic distance - Our team is spread out across two continents. This can sometimes make communications difficult. One party either needs to get up very early or the other party needs to stay at work till very late.

Current Employee – been working at Datameer full-time

Pros – Friendly atmosphere, non-political. Catered lunches.

Cons – in short: the CEO -
Over-inflated ego, thinks he is steve Jobs, has a very dictatorial attitude; an example among many: he ordered employees to write positive reviews on glassdoor .. also employees have to use their own twitter account to tweet positively about the company ..
No personal life, must be dedicated to the company.
Dont apply if you are married/children and want to spend time with them.

Advice to Senior Management – advice to the board; change the CEO before it's too late..
