The company tries to present itself as a cutting edge technological marvel and in reality it is just a bunch of legacy code and high profile engineers unwilling to change their pieces of code they see as perfect in every way with bugs being just misunderstanding on how it works.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
It used to be quite nice, but the recent changes and a sharp turn towards a lot of bureaucracy and extremely thick glass ceilings contributed to the dwindling company culture.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People have a wide range of interests.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop talking loudly and interrupt others.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Clear goals, clear tasks, home office, better wages.
What makes you most happy at work?
An algorithmic problem to be solved.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stop the 'delivery' culture, where you are constantly being compared to your peers.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They do not need to improve, I just don't look forward to interacting with them.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Home office. It's 2018, not 1910 and this kind of work is the industry standard right now.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
At Dynatrace, it's not the ones who do the most that are recognized, but rather those that talk the loudest.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening to people's needs and their career plans, rather than fixing them into positions without regard for their opinion or talents.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The tasks are assigned without regard for employee talents and skills, everyone must be good at everything, there is no such thing as specialization.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The promotion criteria are unclear and many are based on personal relations rather than skills. Also, the rules for giving employees free stock options were unclear and presented to only few.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The product requirements are murky and unclear, and the product owners have no idea what should be expected from the product. They wave their hands a lot, but ask them about any specific details and they are like children in a fog.
