Pros

The only pros left now are probably free food, nice colleagues and nice t-shirts. Paid to do nothing, very empathetic and possibly everyone knows that people are here till they find new equally paid or better paying jobs

Cons

No direction and no motivation. Most of the time leadership is spitting on their own face, people have lost faith and no one is doing anything about it. We are still getting paid but that's all. Many customers have either churned or have downscaled DataRobot footprint. It's hard to believe what was once revolutionary is now biting dust. It took me a long time and effort to come to terms with this reality. Truth is I still love DataRobot but I am a fool and I am not the only one. Wake up before its too late. Recent layoffs at twitter, meta, spotify is gonna make job market even more difficult. I wish DR survives but its single threaded and reality is there is no hope. Investors will sell it to get their money back and those who made money are having fun! IT SUCKS to be in this position!!

Pros

Great product. Huge ROI for customers who use well. Huge potential if part of a broader data & analytics platform.

Cons

- Throw money at salespeople to wear lots of hats. Not a good strategy. Senior sales management can’t help because they know it’s a really hard sell. They just sit back and wait for forecast. - Huge churn. Every existing customer I inherited churned or was going to churn. CX for smaller customers is non existent. Weren't sold to properly, set up to fail. - Culture is broken. Cutting costs on things like internal events and office space make it worse. - No channel (all direct outreach) and marketing strategy/messaging is very weak. Competitors investing properly in channel. No inbounds. - DataRobot and it’s competitors aren’t doing well. It’s too niche an area to sell ‘on-mass’. - Not a good product market fit. Can’t be sold standalone. Customers want to build a lot of the time. Data scientists worry they’re being replaced because it’s an efficiency sell. - Way too many things need to go your way as a seller. It’s not a repeatable sell. Even the previous exec team said “we’re still figuring it out”. Very amateurish way of operating. - 40% of staff laid off in 6 months. More to come no doubt. No one safe.

Pros

Decent pay for most flexible working hours (don't confuse with short work days) Lots of training Great platform You'll still find some Smart people I love the logo ( nice T-Shirts)

Cons

Layoffs, always, multiple times a year, never saw a year without layoffs Long working hours Not everyone is paid equally, even people at same level can have 50K difference Lots of fluff keeping yourself away from reality Payroll is a mess Worst HR's worst I had to deal with Constant erratic changes Lots of chaos and no direction Don't have Jeremy to care of his baby
