Pros

Dataquest is a great team to be apart of as we are excited everyday to tackle the challenges facing our startup in the ed-tech industry. We have all grown as both a team and as individuals as we work to add value daily to our students / customers. We work realistically and have stayed profitable which puts us in the minority for startups but a powerful position to be in for long term growth. We also have a great remote culture that values independent thinking.

Cons

Being small we struggle sometimes with prioritizing all the things we want to do.

Pros

Work is remote. Apart from that, nothing much.

Cons

I found my experience at Dataquest to be consistently chaotic due to poor leadership and frequent shifts in priorities. One week, the focus would be on improving early user experience, only to completely change direction the next. Projects were often rushed and never given enough time to mature. What's even more concerning is the company's instability. Despite its small size, Dataquest would annually conduct massive layoffs without warning, typically in response to a brief financial downturn. In April 2023, the situation reached its peak when the company terminated almost all employees under the guise of preparing for a sale, which never materialized. Shortly after, new hires were brought on, further adding to the confusion. Unless you thrive in an environment characterized by instability, drama, and lack of consistent leadership, I would advise against considering employment at Dataquest.

Pros

Nice people. Positive culture. Opportunity to be exposed to many different elements of the business and get true startup experience.

Cons

Bootstrapped company constantly looking to keep the lights on. Not enough runway to make strategic investments and development.
