Pros

Stay a low level leader if you want a long term gig. Software is solid. CTO is super smart. Good pay.

Cons

New CEO brought in very poor choices of C-level leaders. New CCO doesn't care about customers. New CPO has made HR a complete trainwreck. New CRO is busy selling stock. Corporate "values" are just a bunch of words and aren't lived by leadership.

Don't Be Fooled, All that Glitters Is Not Gold Here

Pros

I can't think of a whole lot of pros working at Dynatrace aside from a few of my teammates who have become wonderful friends. I do enjoy that aspect of the environment, and it makes performing my work to a high standard much easier with a supportive team (notice I specifically left out managers here).

Cons

Well, for one, the company was "strongly advised" by "upper management" to leave a bevy of positive reviews on Glassdoor to hopefully bury the reviews that are filled with the truth. Ever since TB came in and purchased Dynatrace, the focus absolutely shifted off of the company's most valuable asset, THE EMPLOYEES, and shifted to things like "contribution margin", and "bonus removal adjustments". TB is just in it to bleed the company dry, then spin it off for pennies on the dollar. It really disgusts me that the 'upper management" will not directly address this with the employees and instead sugar coats reality and requests us to leave false reviews for "brownie points". There is no getting ahead, there is no ladder to climb, for the foreseeable future you will simply be a number with a salary (a low salary compared to industry standards) attached to it.

Pros

Good product. Cool office. Lower level employees are driven and smart people. Its too bad management doesn't acknowledge or encourage that. In any other environment collaboration and success would thrive!

Cons

Don't let the good reviews fool you, they're written to promote the company directed by management. I have NEVER known a single employee (current or former) that has anything positive to say about the company. Bottom line is that this company hires new talent, squeezes them dry of their potential and ideas, chews them up and spits them out. If you work at DynaTrace be ready to walk on eggshells because mass layoffs are common and the turnover rate is incredibly high. Working at DynaTrace for 1.5 years I had 5 managers - most of which were forced to "resign". Management does not care about their employees and the feeling of under-appreciation and uncertainty of the company, your position, and your future is always present. Do not expect your ideas or time to be valued. If you want to be the type of employee to work 60+ hours regularly, not have an opinion, put your head down and say "yes sir" - this is may be the place for you. Do not expect to be promoted because that is impossible in this company. They only higher management from external sources. The politics at this company are heart retching and sick. So all I can say to those who dismiss my warning and accept a job at DynaTrace, watch your back. You are replaceable and that is beat that management drums to. It has been a year since I have worked at DynaTrace (formerly known as Compuware APM) and I still have not recovered from the emotional abuse of working at this company. I am not writing this review as a disgruntled employee, but as an attempt to prevent you from working DynaTrace. They beat my soul and confidence down and it still haunts me. Luckily I again have found a company that loves my work, values me and supports me professionally. I hope you pass on any opportunity at DynaTrace because its not worth it.
