Pros

Management seems to be making a major effort to improve the culture and organizational structure. They just brought on a new COO who seems to be making some changes that we have needed for a long time. There is a bigger emphasis on career development, training and mentoring. Overall it is a good place to work. Smart people, challenging work, products are making the world a better place, great work space, lots of company provided fresh fruit, breakfast and lunches, free drinks and company get-togethers such as potlucks and ping pong tournaments.

Cons

We still seem to have high turnover, but it seems to be due to people being young and mobile as opposed to people being unhappy with the company. We also have a lot of organizational changes going on but they seem to be for the better.

Pros

I think it is a great place to work with flexible hours, Wednesday snacks, company lunches, etc... Engineering group has excellent development processes in place including continuous integration, code reviews, and git for source code control. Development environment uses latest version of .NET, Visual Studio, modern C#, reSharper and the Atlassian suite of products (Stash, SourceTree, Jira, Bamboo, Confluence). The latest software being developed is using the leading technology: MVC, ASP.NET Web Api, jquery, angular.js, Twitter Bootstrap, less.

Cons

Sales driven company means that custom projects are often included in the product sale. This can impact the engineering focus. Need to support old product versions/technology like ASP.NET WinForms and WebForms.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback! We recognized that customer projects were taking up a lot of resources from engineering, so we have been actively growing our engineering team to accommodate. We're happy you had a positive experience overall!

Pros

Unlike other companies in Seattle, who relies heavily on IT industries, Datstat works with healthcare industry clients.

Cons

So many people leaves the company. Except for management, who's been around since the beginning of the company, the entire company is built on temp and short term employees. Over worked and under paid.
