      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Unfortunately we did have an organizational change with our one of our smaller business units and we made the difficult decision to have a small workforce reduction. We aim to communicate transparently, treat employees with respect, and provide support wherever possible when changes occur. We are continuously focused on strengthening our business, shifting our investment in our people, and creating a work environment that supports long term growth and meaningful career opportunities. We value feedback such as this, as it helps us reflect and improve. We wish you the very best in your future endeavours.

      Work-Live Balance ? Nonexistent

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technically stimulated, but at an immense human cost.

      Cons

      Be prepared to work most weekends without compensation, plus very late nights, as the standard expectation. Management publicly states they value personal time, but this is a complete manipulation—the reality is the exact opposite. The official messaging from DDN is a lie. Please take out from Glassdoor that lie ! The burnout is real and I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many colleagues share this frustration.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your time at DDN is not positive. That is never the outcome we want for anyone on our team. DDN operates in a very technically demanding environment, and while periods of intense effort can occur, working excessive hours or weekends as a standard expectation is not our intent, policy or practice. We take concerns around workload, burnout, and work-life balance very seriously, Our focus is on prioritizing and providing resources that will continue to drive our AI Market leadership and accelerate best in class customer solutions. We appreciate the honesty in this review and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We encourage employees to raise concerns through internal channels so they can be addressed directly, constructively and timely.

      Career spoiler,

      Lead software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary, Office food and perks (transport etc.)

      Cons

      Higher management has bad attitude, they'll hire you for one position. The project might get downsized for business reasons. You'll be put in a project that does'nt match your skillset, Yet you'll have to meet un-resonable deadlines. Either your health suffers, or you are fired. Cant see how can anyone stay for long duration. Its more of a problem for technical folks (developers). Managers can survive by blindly following orders of overseas supervisors.
