Pros

Datamaran is full of people passionate about sustainability, who work hard and are committed to doing a great job for their team and clients. The product is good and the ESG space is exciting and growing rapidly.

Cons

The CEO drives their decisions based on personal feeling instead of data or best practice. They continually hire senior people based on their skills and experience, then undermine and disrespect them when their approach differs from their own opinion. Don't expect to be properly managed. The priorities and goal posts shift at a dizzying pace even for those well-versed in the pace of start-ups. Those within the "inner circle" are empowered to question and interfere, muddling progress and decision-making.

Pros

I'm someone who will always look at Glassdoor reviews before considering a job at a company, they usually portray an accurate picture of the culture. However, I don't think Datamaran's reviews are an accurate representation of the culture I get to experience every day. I get the feeling that some of the negative reviews are about folks who are no longer at Datamaran. I am very glad that I had the chance to talk to current employees and get their point of view before joining, they all highly recommended the company and they were right! The pros: - Amazing people and culture - Inspiring female CEO who truly cares about the mission and the people - Strong, one-of-a-kind product in the marketplace - Lots of opportunities for growth and advancement - Flexibility and work-life balance

Cons

- It's a company on the smaller side so a lot of processes are yet to be put in place - For the US team, the fact that the company is European means that certain things are done the European way. As the US team grows, we start having more influence and can effect change.

Pros

Flat structure, nice people, a lot of trust and autonomy, growing pains as a startup like not a lot of process in place (yet) but that means there's a lot of room for creativity and ideas to set up process, exciting time to join with a lot of growth happening

Cons

Starting a fixed hybrid model instead of flexible
