Dynatrace reviews

Problems at the Exec Leadership level. Dynatrace is a spinoff from Compuware, when Compuware was acquired by private equity firm, Thoma Bravo. The problem is that the Execs come from two different companies, and are jockeying for position/rank. It is clearly obvious by everyone, and simply sets too many bad examples (one product favored over another, mis-information about capabilities, fighting to protect their job rather than come together and integrate solutions to protect market leadership) Thoma Bravo came in and swung the axe big time. The firm also acquired several of DT's competitors, and things got worse as expected. Such a shame as this type of thing happens all too often.

It's disheartening to see our design & research team being reduced to serving as glorified pixel-pushers. Until a couple years ago it used to be growing, in quality. At the same time, it's concerning to see several members of the team migrating to the Product organization for what seems to be more of a social rather than solid professional reason. The Austrian exclusive circle. We have an ok design director, who has however been isolated. We previously had another good one, who started to build a promising multidisciplinary function: he was most likely made run away from DT due to mismanagement and political maneuvering (favoring those who best accommodated and flattered our management team, for their own personal career benefit). As a ux and product designer I don't feel well represented or properly valued here. I don't see positive movement under our current leadership, and don't feel safe sharing my perspective through our internal channels.
