Pluspunten

-HR and Ops teams are really nice and really do a lot to show employees that they care, such as giving hand-made bags of candy to everyone during holidays, celebrating birthdays with balloons and $100 Amazon gift cards, and giving everyone Amazon gift cards during the holiday party. -Work hours aren't bad at all. You can easily roll in at 9:30am and leave at 5pm and no one would care. -Benefits are pretty good if you're single: you pay $0 for medical/dental if you are single with no dependents and the company offers a 4% 401k match. -Number of vacation days is quite high, but note that you can only roll over 5 vacation days at the end of a calendar year and those need to be used up by March of the following year.

Minpunten

-All of these reviews are fake. I was really saddened when I discovered this because during my last job search, I was really careful to review all Glassdoor reviews to ensure that I wasn't making a mistake by joining. After I joined, the HR team send me a personal message on Slack asking me to submit a positive review on Glassdoor, ensuring that it was all anonymous (yea right). So, if you are interviewing, take all of the positive reviews with a grain of salt. -Overall, the company is pretty cheap with salaries. As in, you will not be able to negotiate your salary when you're hired unless you reject the offer, at which point they will come scrambling back and will finally take you seriously. Obviously, this isn't a great tactic if you're unemployed or really need the job. If you're employed, I highly recommend doing this because this is your best shot to negotiate a good deal for yourself. -Related to the salary point above: when it's time for annual raises, you'll receive a paltry raise unless you interview elsewhere and arrive with another offer in hand. Datorama will always match another company's offer, but it really sucks that we have to resort to such petty tactics to get a raise. -Amount of equity given is quite low. -Benefits are awful if you have dependents. Premiums really skyrocket if you're not just covering yourself. -The company is half-Israeli, so I often wonder if my growth opportunities will be limited because I'm not in the Israeli club, so to speak. -The founders and senior management mostly come from an adtech and media background, not a BI background. This rears its ugly head when we cannot differentiate ourselves from the crowded BI space. We actually had to "create" a new space called "marketing intelligence" in order to call ourselves #1 in a specific market. Quite embarrassing!

GREAT LOCATION Sun-lit office space on 23rd and 6th—one of the most convenient locations I've worked in yet. Easy to get to via public transport and everyone gets a window "office." Near Eataly, Trader Joe's and Home Depot—my golden triangle of retail. GREAT PEOPLE I've worked here for over a year and from the first day, I felt welcome. It's an inclusive atmosphere without feeling forced. There's a happy hour once a week to get to know different people you wouldn't normally talk to. People are genuinely happy here. Of course, there are stressful moments and ambitious goals to hit but it does feel like, a work/life balance is encouraged. MAKE A NAME FOR YOURSELF Datorama is a company that is young enough that roles are still evolving but old enough that start-up teething problems have been sorted. There are plenty of opportunities to find a niche and carve a role for yourself.

Minpunten

OPEN OFFICE Any open work space comes with its challenges. If you're someone who measures their success by achieving the "window office" this is not the place for you. Heads of departments sit next to those they manage, in an open space environment. GOAL DRIVEN While it's a casual work environment this is not casual work. There are definitive and measurable goals to achieve so if you're looking to coast through a role, this is not for you.
