      Pros

      Truly passionate, fun, and dedicated colleagues

      Cons

      Dataminr has began laying off people and they are doing it in disrespectful, abrupt and demeaning way People used to pour themselves into this place because they felt respected but things have taken a sharp turn recently You may hear that AI has gotten so good that they had to lay off people whose jobs could be automated. This is not the truth and no, we are not that close to singularity If you have self respect and do not want to deal with childish, infantilizing and truly disconnected leadership, you may want to look somewhere else for a job.

      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
