Pros

Work life balance is amazing. Camaraderie can be found depending on the department. Product is interesting.

Cons

Dataminr has a serious issue with pay, career progression, and career pathing. Those things only occur when an employee is a "favorite child" or has stuck around the company long enough to watch your boss leave the company. It's a well documented issue amongst leadership and broader employee base, but nothing has been done to address it beyond empty platitudes. I've seen about a dozen people in my 40-person department turnover due to finding higher-paying jobs that offer actual development. It just feels like the CEO has decided to mask mediocre compensation for Managers and below as "industry standard", leaving Directors to deal with constant complaints from their employees.

Thank you for the candid feedback and for calling out Dataminr's strengths like work–life balance, team camaraderie, and the amazing nature of our product. The concerns you raise about pay, career progression, and career pathing are important and critical to a fair and engaging employee experience. While this characterization does not reflect the standards leaders expect or the systems put in place at Dataminr, it is a reminder that perception and lived experience matter and must be addressed through clearer communication and more visible processes. We remain focused on providing equitable opportunities for advancement and compensation grounded in role expectations, performance, and market data rather than informal perceptions; ensuring market competitiveness at all levels of the organization. If you have specific concerns you’d be open to sharing, we encourage you to reach out directly to your People Team Business Partner, so we can better understand your experience and continue improving.

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.
