Pros

Smart, friendly, collaborative colleagues Interesting problems to solve, with real-world implications

Cons

Leadership constantly pivots and then takes no accountability for their own decisions CEO interviews most applicants and seems to screen for bros Loud self-promoters are rewarded Negative narratives are easily accepted without any curiosity or research into their claims

Good as a jumping off point, but don't invest too much.

Pros

DAT sits at an interesting conversion of industry and technology, having been an early pioneer in loadboards and also rate analytics. This creates a unique environment to help build, deploy, and support technology into an industry that doesnt use a ton of it (logistics). This creates the opportunity to solve interesting problems, work with interesting customers, and work on interesting technology. It is a great place for people looking to learn the industry, software and data, or both. There are smart people, big challenges and the company is still a size where you can directly contribute to the success or failure of various initiatives. This creates opportunities to challenge yourself and promotes self-growth.

Cons

Imagine you purchased a pre-owned Honda, the carfax looks pretty good and it has a good number of miles on it with no issues. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle you take it to a mechanic - who assesses it needs new parts. Only he doesnt like Hondas so he throws some Toyota parts in. The car runs well for a while and then starts to have issues again. You take the car to a different mechanic who only likes Subarus - and he puts in some Subaru parts. You end up with a zombified car that doesnt run particularly well, is difficult to work on, and only the parts the current mechanic (CEO) favors get priority. That is DAT in a nutshell. The management of the moment favors their own personnel, departments, and priorities. Meaning if you happen to fall into the Honda or Toyota camp - you dont get budget, location hiring flexibility, a voice, or a shot at promotion. DAT has luckily been at the conflux of right place right time, but lacks innovation, cohesion, direction, or respect for it's own employees unless you are one of the favored few.

Pros

Smart people. Free lunch. Used to

Cons

Not innovative against competitors and they love to preach they are but numbers show otherwise. Upper management lacks competency to do their job correctly . Lack of management support. Zero training or on boarding. Very Toxic culture. Extremely unorganized.
