Pros

If your ideal work environment is one where you don't want to be challenged, have your voice and opinions heard, and simply collect a paycheck, this is your place.

Cons

Where to start: 1. CEO makes decisions based on criteria only he knows and decides without any thought of the impact or any input from his "leadership" team 2. The Linz Austria team is given almost unlimited decision-making ability and access to any program or function they choose, despite the fact often they were uninformed or had little-to-know understanding of the US market, where most revenue was generated. Basically, if you are not Austrian, good luck making any impact. 3. CEO trusts a small group of people in Austria (and their teams) implicitly, moving critical functions there and causing MASSIVE US turnover 4. The atmosphere is very toxic, with very little trust amongst teams or individuals 5. There is little to no merit or career mobility programs to speak of. You will most likely never see a comp increase or bonus, even when it's part of your agreement

Pros

-Great "lower level" employees (non management) - flexible work hours -good work/life balance -great products- proven to be the best in the industry

Cons

Soon the only people that will be left will be those who come in, collect a paycheck and go home without any motivation or qualms about making the company better. If you are unmotivated and satisfied with spinning your wheels without actually accomplishing anything, then this is the perfect place for you. Management gets in its own way too often. There is some great talent there (for now) but they get stifled by politics and managing up. This is causing all the talent to leave. In the 3 years I was there I saw maybe a dozen pieces of content get developed. Also, there isn't a competitive salary. I was refused a raise twice (even though I asked) then moved and got a 25% bump in my salary- I asked them to match it and they said good luck. The moral in the Waltham office is abysmal. After the RIF in January (20% of the workforce let go) the office that seats 300 barely has 150 in it- and those people rarely show up. Everyone seems like they are 2 steps from going postal. It's toxic and contagious. It's also very secretive and rumors are everywhere. We all knew we would get bought, merge with Keynote, etc but no one would confirm or deny- instead they let people speculate about whether they would be the next group to get let go- no sure if that was a scare tactic or if upper management is actually oblivious to what's going on around them. Do not work here if you want to be excited to come to work everyday.

Pros

- pay is industry standard (sort of) - if you're white, you'll get promoted

Cons

- no diversity in leadership, unless you mean white women - C-suite tells diverse employees to leverage ERGs when ERGs at Dynatrace have no power (ERGs exist to take diversity problems off of their hands) - Their branding/internal comms team prowls on "diverse" employees to cover up the lack of diversity. - CPO is a woman who prioritizes "women" as a apart of her diversity initiative and we all know that means "white women" - DEI Board has no leader and only one of the volunteers is black...
