    The start up I've been looking for my whole career

    Pros

    Most of my 20+ year career has been at start ups. DataGrail is by far the best start up that I have ever worked at. We are solving a problem that matters, with people that I respect and trust. The pace is fast (start up life), but the company is reasonable (having 8 DataGrail days a year is a marvel). This is a company that doesn't just talk about things like culture or diversity, it actually puts in the work to do the right things. I love this company, and am proud to be part of building it.

    Cons

    Nothing really. There are growing pains that are appropriate for the stage of growth that we are in, and a part of any start up that has a big goal.

    I love my team!

    Pros

    I get to work with top-tier talent towards solving an important problem that is felt all over the world. I trust my peers and leadership. Most of all, I love my team! There is definitely a human element to my role and I’m grateful I consider my coworkers friends.

    Cons

    This is a startup environment — you need to be someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, adapts quickly, and has a bias for action. Not everything is as structured as more mature companies.

    Incredible company with massive opportunity in front

    Pros

    DataGrail is an incredible company with hard working individuals who are passionate about what they are doing. Work-life balance is fantastic for being a start up and the overall benefits of the company are unheard of for our size. Product market fit is there and with the future of privacy laws, will only get stronger.

    Cons

    We're still in start up mode so be prepared to put in the effort and sometimes wear multiple hats.

    Great Startup with Positive People

    Nov 20, 2020 - Senior Software Engineer 
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    DataGrail strikes a great balance of all things I was hoping for in my job. - You can make a large impact on the product - There's a strong focus on company values and teamwork - The team is small but growing steadily, and very remote friendly - The product market is really huge and there's a lot of demand for the product - Excellent perks, especially for remote employees - The benefits + compensation aren't mediocre just because it's a startup, which I REALLY respect - Good focus on work life balance - Talented leaders from the top down who are inspiring as well as actively transparent We've got a long way to go before we're a well oiled machine serving the entire market effectively, but we've got a great start so far. I am glad I started when I did, as it feels like I got in on the ground floor of something special!

    Cons

    Until recently, we were a bit disorganized in engineering and it wasn't great. The company was really transparent about needing to build out a strong team to lead the engineering department, but it took a while to find the right people and it was rough while we were waiting. Fortunately, I think things we've hired the right people to fill in those gaps and we've already made massive strides towards a better, more effective software development org.
