Pros

The people are phenomenal. So intelligent and inspiring to work with. Some of the best of my career. The product is very strong. Top tier clients.

Cons

In less than four years, I have experienced: --Three CEOs --Four CMOs --I don't remember how many sales leaders --Four massive layoffs, one that was blamed on COVID without merit This place is a revolving door of employees, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon. Two mammoth layoffs just this year with the result being that really good people who haven't already left are looking for new jobs. I've never worked at a place with such massive turnover. When I think of how many fantastic people have come through the company and just been shoved out the door, it's really sad. So many people should still be here who really believed in the company and had the right vision. DataRobot is a case study in mismanagement. I have faith in some of the new leadership team. The new CEO is excellent but as one other reviewer said, a CEO cannot run the whole company. There are still some toxic people who are only interested in promoting themselves at the expense of others. This happens all the time. Someone comes in, plants their stake in the ground, declares themselves to be the next savior of the company and they're gone in less than a year, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. You are no longer hiring the best of the best people. Strategy changes every six months but that makes sense when you keep firing your team. If you worked at DataRobot, you have war stories unlike most other jobs. You had great people and one of the best AI products. I don't know how you can screw things up this badly.
