No clear vision. How can this company keep getting investors to buy into something that is so very repeatable by someone else. Take away the DOD and what do you really have? Nothing.
Leadership keeps changing, which is a problem since there is no clear vision, and they never stick with a plan long enough to see results while supporting a mediocre product. Then a new person shows up and his idea is something that worked 5 years ago.
The company is funded because of one large Government Contract. It cannot penetrate any new markets and there is no real vision to do so. When companies cut software budget Dataminr is always the first to go.
One day without warning people will just be gone, and they are never mentioned again by Management. These are not low performers either, they are high performers who simply fall out of favor.
