Pros

- Great culture - Very inclusive - Very good package for what was asked of you

Cons

- Senior management make it very hard to sell the product - Marketing are useless and have no clue how to market the product and were focussing their time in the wrong areas, adding 0 value. - No clear progression - Completely overhired last year which led to many good people being made redundant - Senior management never listen or even try to listen to the people on the front lines to see what isn't working and what needs to be changed; Some minor changes last year could've transformed the performance of the business.

Thank you for sharing the pros and cons of your experience working at Dataminr. Our senior leadership team appreciates hearing candid feedback and we always strive to apply this information for future business planning. Economic conditions made it difficult for many tech companies to avoid reductions and we took every step to minimize the impact. It was a difficult time for the company and most importantly for those impacted. I do wish you well as you move on to new opportunities and a great future ahead.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
