Pros

Very good with diversity and inclusion. LGBTQIA+, autism, etc, are all ok at Dutchie. Competitive salary and benefits (except no 401k match) Everyone works from home FTO policy and they actually let you take it Much of the bottom level management is great

Cons

Tons of communication issues, lots of absolute language used until they realize no one will use their judgement because of a stated absolute then they have to walk it back and revise their statements. Wrong information provided to a lot of people during the hiring process, not things changing later, just being provided wrong information about them. They say that they want engineers enabled, but then they ration out licenses to required tools making it so people have to get help to do basic things associated with their jobs. Most of the upper level management is just a disaster, largely because they cannot communicate and don't listen when engineers tell them something is going to cause problems, then when that problem happens everyone has to rush to fix it and no recognition that it could have been avoided if they would listen. No 401k match

Thanks for your insightful review. We are continually seeking to improve both internal and external communication and recognize the opportunity to evolve in this area as we grow. Diversity & Inclusion efforts are incredibly important, and we have invested in company wide training on a quarterly basis that covers topics like unconscious bias and allyship. We're glad to hear you're having a great experience with benefits and utilizing time off!

Pros

Fun place to work, interesting field and nice new tech stack, great coworkers, leadership is not half bad, most diverse workplace I've ever been in.

Cons

The work life balance can be great at times and bad at others. It is very team dependent though. Your requirements shift quickly. Obsessed with AI and optimization.

Pros

From what I heard, it used to be a phenomenal culture, but I joined just a week or two after the first major round of layoffs. The hostile company takeover was soon to follow then many rounds of layoffs to come.

Cons

A couple of very large, public layoffs, but to later avoid press - the rest were weekly, but small enough to avoid public notice which meant they were never acknowledged even within the company. Working weekends and taking calls to your personal cell number at night for extra work is smiled upon. Company at a complete loss of direction and there seems to be no desire for actual data or for things to work. It's like they want more on paper to show investors or something - it's actually unbelievable how little the company now does while completely overworking everyone.
