Datameer Reviews

Pros

Startup environment with little bureaucratic overhead. Very engineering driven company with smart people. High compensation and benefits. Free lunch and snacks.

Cons

Parts of the development team is in Berlin. Time difference can slow down communication.

Pros

About a year in, he bolts on the mess he created. Moving on to AWS to screw things up there

Cons

But hey, the snacks remain outstanding

Advice to Management

Keep the snacks coming!!

Pros

I had the opportunity to join Datameer October 2017 and it was one of my best decisions. I joined to lead the Global Education business/organization and I was fortunate enough to have a rock solid team. What I really valued about the company was the customers and the employees. I worked directly with Global Sales and the Customers on a daily basis and sales team embraced the value of education and adoption and the...

Cons

Still going through growing pains but expected just like every other company large and small.

Advice to Management

Continue to support your employees and their careers, hire top talent, and encourage your existing employees to share their work experience at Datameer. People need to know if they are looking at joining Datameer it is a fun and get company to grow personally and professionally.

Pros

There are no pros unfortunately, there was a good product that met the needs of a technology that is now declining massively. Food variety is good in the kitchen.

Cons

Management are continually changing direction, making strange decisions, the quotas they have given their teams are completely unachievable. Its like they cant accept the inevitable that this company is finished....it address a problem that does not exist. Zero new logos for a year tells you everything you need to know.

Advice to Management

There is none as they don't listen. In fact they don't even agree between themselves.

Pros

Most of the staff is great, good product, some really smart people

Cons

It only takes a few bad apples...some highly caustic team members, astonishing lack of respect, misogynistic, acerbic... I should have paid attention to the negative reviews on here. I thought they were from embittered ex-employees until I got to witness it firsthand.

Advice to Management

Place an importance on collaboration, team-work, higher positive people. Mordacious teammates are extremely counter-productive and add undo burden to progress and product development. Establish well-documented procedures, policies, and processes.

Pros

People - Intelligent and passionate people are the core of this company. The teammates across the globe are highly focused on delivering a great product and serving our customers. Collaboration - Teams work together to solve problems creatively. The company culture seeks feedback and improvement regularly. When things need improvement, we work together to fix it! Opportunity - Team members encouraged to take on...

Cons

Small Business - This isn't exclusively a "con" but is a reality at Datameer. The company operates with essential staff but not a lot of extras. At times, this entails taking on extra responsibilities and filling in gaps when teammates are on vacation. This style is not a good fit for candidates seeking to only perform bare minimum duties. High Attrition - Like many companies rooted in today's technology industry,...

Advice to Management

Formalize a recurring "state of the union" type communication globally. There's a lot of communication that happens socially instead of formally and it breeds a rumor culture. Control the message directly to the whole company to minimize rumors.

Pros

I've been at Datameer for almost a year now. While I've seen the result of several big changes, it's clearly on the upside. It's a company with genuine team members, clear opportunities for growth, and a management team that cares about career development. Colleagues are very competent, collaborative, respectful and open to new ideas. There's great work life balance, and not to mention the awesome benefits, lunches,...

Cons

Having a company that has an international presence can make it challenging to get face time with people.

Advice to Management

Keep it up!

Pros

I joined Datameer a few months ago and could not be happier with my decision. On a daily basis, I engage with various employees across the business (execs, sales, support, services, product & finance) and everyone is engaged, excited to jump in, and overall great to work with. There is clear direction given (or at least as clear as could be expected in this stage of a company) and with the transparency that is offered,...

Cons

None in the few months I've been here!
