Pros
Dataminr is small/medium sized company with large-company sized engineering challenges due to the requirements of processing large volumes of data in real-time. For Data Scientists and Machine Learning-oriented Software Engineers, Dataminr has many interesting data problems. Engineers quickly develop ways-of-work that are compatible with the large-scale data and real-time nature of the problems we are trying to solve. The engineering team is small enough that we have many opportunities to make improvements rapidly. It is especially satisfying to bring new ideas from the concept stage through to production in order to improve the product.
Cons
This may not always be a con, but being self-directed and resourceful seem to be important attributes for engineers.
