      Run Far Away - Toxic Sludge Nightmare Ahead

      Pros

      With a few notable exceptions of some wonderful people who maintained their humanity, there are absolutely no pros in any way, shape, or form for Dynatrace. Unfortunately, most of those people eventually end up leaving because of all the Cons listed below. Have a Silkwood shower after dealing with anyone over there.

      Cons

      1. Wasteful management of time, resources, (LOTS of) money, and employee cycles/productivity to cover their poor business management choices overall. 2. Burning out their team resources left and right and not giving a damn - with zero thought to continuity management, let alone having to 100% redo projects due to the lack of understanding or whim of whomever holds the magic totem pole for the week/quarter/year. 3. Blatant harassment and/or horrific management styles ignored by HR (or worse, condoned by HR). Very fratboy-centric behavior and allowed comments at management or above level (think of the derogatory terms that start with the letters B, C, and S - all used for woman typically - being used in open forums or meetings). 4. Let's call a spot a spot - the obvious "pay for play"/fake Glassdoor reviews done by a HR team or their lackeys under false credentials to boost the scores of the company and CEO (check the older listings - not so rosy or "perky!" in their descriptions). 5. Moving HQ to a new building to simply gain signage rights against I-95 corridor for the sake of the ego of the management team. 6. If they are so "transparent", ask them to publish their employee attrition rates. WAY higher than average software companies. 7. Non-competitive pay packages with zero ability to have a growth plan in career development. 8. No pay increases - they instead rely on AMEX/VISA gift cards to "reward" their employees. 9. Middle management has their lips pursed 24/7 on their boss's butt - zero management/guidance of how to groom their own people to gain skill sets, be better employees, work more collaboratively. 10. Get JVS and Bernd out of the way and maybe the absence of their egos will correct the company - it is a constant "kiss the ring" mentality with each of them.

      Thank you for your comments. We value feedback from current as well as former employees. First, as Head of Recruiting at Dynatrace, I can assure you there is no pressure on employees to write “positive” reviews. We ask new and existing employees to consider writing a review of their experience, whether it be positive or negative, at any time. We review these comments to better understand our company’s business practices and culture – a way for us to seek areas in need of improvement. I appreciate your comments related to various components of the company. Having been Head of HR prior to my role at Dynatrace, I know establishing and maintaining a positive and rewarding culture is an important aspect for every company, like it is at Dynatrace, especially during a period of growth. In Dynatrace’s case, the company has grown significantly in terms of size and revenue. As a result, we’ve made significant investments to accommodate employees, including upgrades to amenities and office space to make work more enjoyable. Regarding your point about harassment and derogatory comments within the company, this is something Dynatrace does not tolerate under any circumstances. We have formal procedures in place for individuals to report such incidents to HR, with a formal process for making sure such issues are resolved to ensure employees feel safe and comfortable at work. As far as pay and competitive packages are concerned, the company offers a wide range of benefits to employees, including the recently rolled out of an ESPP program which has had two enrollment periods to date. Additionally, all employees are required to have reviews with their direct Manager to ensure growth plans and the opportunity to progress in the company. We’re sorry you felt you didn’t receive such benefits during your time at Dynatrace, as we continuously review market data to ensure we remain competitive and attract and retain top talent. -David St. Cyr, Director of Talent Acquisition

      You need to be aware of the artificially high rating of this company

      Pros

      - Good Tech - Competitive Salary - Nice people

      Cons

      - One man show. The CEO show. No one dares to challenge any of his opinions. All of the senior leadership are "yes" men and women. - No work-life balance. They don't care if your child is sick or whether you had a personal emergency.. things needed to get done yesterday. - No accountability from senior leaders. Internal processes are quite backwards. No effort by leaders to improve upstream processes that affect downstream teams. - No process improvement initiatives - Ineffective, incompetent mid-level management. Most Directors would only be managers in top tier orgs. Most VPs would be Director level. All talk, no action. - Cut throat environment. Not afraid to fire people who challenge the status quo and aren't willing to blindly fall in line with how the CEO wants to run the company - Low 401k benefits - No equity for non-directors and below

      Pros

      Decent pay, decent benefits. Good Outside Sales Senior Management Team

      Cons

      What was once a great company with tenured successful sales reps is now no longer in existence. The CEO has his hands in too much of the business and doesn't trust his management team. The direction of the product comes from the CEO and not the customers hence the loss of large enterprise accounts over the last 12 months. Quotas that were once obtainable are absolutely not even within reach anymore. You will be putting out more fires instead of finding new opportunities to build your pipeline. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
