Pros
This is my first job working at a start-up, and I am very happy I chose Dataminr. The company is very ambitious - creating new products that weren't possible a few years ago and pushing into big, complicated and demanding markets. Teams are routinely faced with interesting challenges as the company moves forward - which makes for a lively and creative work environment. The CEO and management team are good at conveying the broader mission and vision of the company - which helps keep everyone focused on the big picture. The company goes out of its way to offer great benefits to employees - from culture perks like lunches, snacks fun team sports to fully covered health insurance, and personal development support.
Cons
The company has some start-up growing pains, with some processes and functions still a work in progress, but for the most part the company is aware of them.
