Pros

Market Leadership in APM. Good people.

Cons

Problems at the Exec Leadership level. Dynatrace is a spinoff from Compuware, when Compuware was acquired by private equity firm, Thoma Bravo. The problem is that the Execs come from two different companies, and are jockeying for position/rank. It is clearly obvious by everyone, and simply sets too many bad examples (one product favored over another, mis-information about capabilities, fighting to protect their job rather than come together and integrate solutions to protect market leadership) Thoma Bravo came in and swung the axe big time. The firm also acquired several of DT's competitors, and things got worse as expected. Such a shame as this type of thing happens all too often.

Pros

Decent Product Great Perks Co-Workers

Cons

A lot of what happens to your career is beyond your control. You can be a top performer and still only meet satisfied in remarks. The customer success departments went through some changes earlier this year and it left it splintered. A lot of toxic environments take place in pockets and everyone is cliqued up. I suppose you could say this is like every corporation, but this was junior varsity level office politics. If you made someone upset you could be next. Most of the executive leadership and brings in their buddies who have no idea how the product works and all of the veterans have left by now. It's mostly a game of grab behind and brown nosing.
