Pros

Complete autonomy and freedom to work on projects, as long as they are aligned with the company goals. I was a remote employee, and I loved being proactive and collaborative across such a big org. As long as you deliver good work, folks respect you and gives you more leeway. There is trust and accountability in the team.

Cons

In spite of receiving good feedback from my team and peers, I was fired without notice one week before my probation ended. My direct manager was left out of the loop, but instead a senior leadership jumped on a call with me, to say thank you and goodbye. The senior leadership had no knowledge of my work or contributions. My direct manager and I were left in the dark, despite them having made the termination decision well in advance without ever communicating to us. As a background, there has been a reorg for my team, and I proactively searched for other opportunities in the org. Instead of supporting my search for internal opportunities during the reorg and a potential interest from another team to have me, the senior leadership chose to terminate me rather than risk losing their headcount. This was one of the most unprofessional and humiliating experience for me. It's a pity that internal politics took precedence over employee development and product success. I'm sad this didn't work out in spite of me giving it all, but I wish the org. the best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the time you spent at Dynatrace. We’re glad to hear that you felt trusted and empowered in your role, and that you were able to collaborate across the organization in meaningful ways. We’re truly sorry to hear how your departure was handled. Your feedback highlights a breakdown in communication and alignment that does not reflect the standards we strive for. Due to evolving business needs, Dynatrace made a few team adjustments to better align with future priorities. These changes were not a reflection of individual performance, dedication, or contributions. We remain committed to supporting our employees through transitions, including identifying internal opportunities and redeploying affected team members whenever possible—though unfortunately, not all transitions can be accommodated. We recognize the importance of transparency, leadership accountability, and respectful treatment during times of change. Your feedback will be shared with the appropriate teams to help us improve how we manage these transitions and better support our people. Thank you again for your contributions and for sharing your perspective. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

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.
