Pros

Breathtaking view. Easy commute. Central location

Cons

Where to begin... like someone mentioned here before, this is not real, even for a startup. The founders do make an amazing first impression, mostly attributed to the first class look and feel of their office. However, once the first shock is faded, reality sinks quickly! The office and amenities are hosted in a shared space. The original concept has been pivoted so many times. The founders - who also happen to be siblings - have no real industry experience and thus no idea what they are doing. They do have access to funds, which they use to construct their little fairy tale. In conclusion: stay away, you can do better!

Pros

I had a generally great experience working for over a year at Datamarx. Due to funding problems around COVID, management had to lay off a bunch of people including myself. This created a fair amount of anger and resentment amongst my peers - that's what some of these negative reviews are about and not really justified in my opinion. The company not only paid very well, but took us out to dinner often and even brought the whole team to Las Vegas! I was always treated with respect and most importantly learned a ton enabling me to find another great job afterward (with a super helpful introduction / recommendation from the founders). It's curious to see how other former employees are denigrating the culture and leadership - yet I never heard any of these complaints or concerns while we were with Datamarx until COVID layoffs took place. Regardless, very happy to hear through the grapevine that things are back on track for the business and the platform is coming along strongly.

Cons

Working with first time founders was both exciting since I was given a lot of freedom, responsibility, and ownership but also slightly challenging at times as the young business evolved through typical and expected growing pains.
