Pros

Hard to think of any if I'm being honest. I would have said colleagues, but in hindsight they also are very callous.

Cons

Company's isn't hiring or promoting like they used to anymore. This stagnant growth is causing many to lash out against their surroundings. Racist and misogynistic treatment by managers, culture of bullying and putting others down to make yourself feel better, ever increasing workload with no end in sight, allergy to transparency or accountability, and rampant nepotism. In short, people see no opportunity for growth and they start taking it out on others. Likewise the leaders are delusional, thinking they are Palantir or the military when they have never operated at that level or scale. The result is a CEO and COO who do not feel the need to address staff, speaking only on one-way calls at All Hands meetings to an employee base that could fit in a Zoom call. The best time to have joined Dataminr was 5-7 years ago when they had money and embraced new ideas. Today, the organization feels stagnant and bankrupt.

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
