Pros

-Datanyze's strongest suit is its personnel. Yes there are a few outcasts, as in any other company, but the people are truly great. Driven, intelligent, and all hands on deck. -The product has a lot of upside, especially for any engineers coming on board. As in many start-ups, it needs work. However, the team understands this and is willing to listen and implement change, as need be. -Tremendous opportunity to what YOU want to do as a career path. I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to move cross-functionally without much push back. Founders believed in me, and that is rare.

Cons

-Leadership is not as seasoned. Hence, mistakes will happen. To be fair, there have been strong recent additions to the team that are very encouraging for anyone joining the team. -Resources: competing for talent in the Bay Area is tough. Datanyze has a hard time on the hiring front due to this, but those that see the opportunity and join, end up doing well. -Perks: this can improve. The office can continue to look better, stronger 401k program, clear & encouraged unlimited PTO policy.

Pros

The company is very flexible and comprehensible when it comes to the employees' necessities. Because it's a startup, the product is constantly updating which makes daily activities and work more challenging and interesting.

Cons

Sometimes it is hard to keep up with the updates.

Pros

The reviews are definitely skewed, Glassdoor is like Amazon, only the people who have a negative or bitter outlook typically leave reviews. Every start has hiccups and pivots; if the people leaving negative reviews couldn't handle the windy road, then they should have went to work for a big conglomerate where you're just a number on a paycheck and no one cares about you. This company is for entrepreneurs, and if you want to slack around and not invest your time, then you're going to be the next person to be pissed off leaving a negative review. Give 110% here or don't work here. The good: - The company is very communal and everyone gets along. - Lots of freedom to work from home, or the San Francisco office, versus commuting to San Mateo - You get out what you put in - If you care to learn it, you'll learn a lot - Great experience for someone interested in building their own business - Management (CEO excluded) is great and genuinely cares about their employees - Revenue has increased over 3000% in the past ~30 months - Company is profitable - Company trips for revenue milestones (Hawaii, Vegas, Tahoe, etc.)

Cons

The bad and the ugly: - Company lacks direction at times, but what startup doesn't? - CEO has control issues and narcissistic tendencies that need to be addressed - The commute from SF sucks - Company lacks trust in the CEO
