Pros

The technology is the best of breed and the customers love it. The people are amazing and very talented.

Cons

Constant change and churn. With the Thoma Bravo purchase everything has been up in the air and it has left many people displaced. Layoffs year after year have become the norm.

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.

Pros

They employ people, but you can do a lot better elsewhere without a doubt

Cons

From day one the goal post changes continuously for no apparent reason. If you open your mouth and show your discontent you will be side-lined and pushed out. It's all a smoke and mirrors scenario, where middle management attempts to cover their own back, as they have been promoted internally and are incapable of / scared of standing up for their team to upper management. Morale is rock bottom and the attitude from management is "just get on with it". I.e. there is no genuine interest in employees' satisfaction despite the corporate clichés like "our people are our most valuable asset". What they really mean is "our people are our most expensive asset" and we can therefor treat them with arrogance and disrespect. Competition has caught up whilst the management has been battling it out internally, which has created a ripple effect of internal conflicts and resulted in an exodus of great people and valuable customers
