The article states that the initial "independent third party investigation" was not all that independent. The investigation was done by an investor who had put a substantial amount of money into DataCamp.

- data_ramp 6y agoThere were two "independent third party investigations". The first was carried out quietly by an investor in early 2018, long before DataCamp initially acknowledged this. This is the investigation referenced here: https://www.datacamp.com/community/blog/note-to-our-communit.. https://www.datacamp.com/community/blog/note-to-our-communit.... The second was carried out by a contractor as a response to the initial outcry. This has been sometimes referred to as an "investigation", but its authors frame it as a "review" targeted at helping DataCamp correct workplace issues. You can read the report here: https://www.datacamp.com/community/blog/working-ideal-indepe.. https://www.datacamp.com/community/blog/working-ideal-indepe.... As far as I can tell, neither of these processes concluded anything that contradicted the BuzzFeed article in any significant way. The contractor's report concludes "there is little factual dispute about what happened". Since DataCamp's most recent post isn't specific about what factual disputes exist now, I guess we're in the dark about that.
