Pros

Benefits, pay, some of the people are nice/humble

Cons

Ego-centric leadership, "people" team that very obviously protects the company & not the employees, layoffs, no transparency at all, obvious favorites, etc. It's just not worth it. There are so many other companies that truly value their assistants and treat them well- this just isn't one of them.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. I'm truly disheartened that your experience at Dataminr was so negative. We work really hard to make our culture here positive and inclusive, and I'm sorry that wasn't your experience. I'll add that the EA's at Dataminr are the best, and we value and appreciate all of them!

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
