      Pros

      Hmmm, steady paycheck, PTO, work/life balance is pretty good.

      Cons

      This company used to feel like family to me. Then something happened a couple of years ago. Cannot put my finger on it, but there has been a change in management, buildings and policies. Morale has hit its all-time low for this company due to spontaneous layoffs (all the Project Managers were let go) causing everyone to question if they were next on the chopping block. Of course this spawned rumors no one wanted to talk about. Further demoralization came when my manager would single out and degrade others during team meetings and gave the blanket statement "you are all replaceable". Not a good team building tactic in my book. Sure some were replaced, but it did take a year or more to find someone. The vision of the company was never fully communicated. Project requirements would change at the last minute requiring rewrites to entire platforms so they can look pretty, but confuse the end users. Since the real IP is the database and the core, DAT needs to invest more into high-availability so these single systems will not bring the business to a halt. Record profits never find there way past shareholders or upper management. A bonus or profit-sharing system (like back in the good 'ol Jubitz days) would be an nice incentive for potential recruits.

      Former Employee, Thank you for sharing this feedback. As a member of the leadership team, I am very interested in feedback from current and former employees as an opportunity to learn what's working and where we have room for growth. From this review, it certainly sounds like a disappointing experience for you and I have shared this review with my team and senior leadership so we can utilize this feedback to improve the experience of our employees. DAT launched an IT transformation initiative in 2016 in order to better align its delivery capabilities to the growing expectations and demand of its customer base. There have been growing pains across the organization as we introduce new processes, technologies, roles and responsibilities and we've made every effort to ensure our staff are prepared to grow along with us...though this was clearly not your experience. We have some work to do here, and everyone in a leadership role understands the criticality of our employees' experiences. This year we launched an employee engagement program which includes employee focus groups, mentorship programs, individual development plans, and enhanced leadership training. We appreciate and encourage feedback and thank you again for sharing your experience at DAT. Greg Tomczyk, Director Systems Operations

      Racing toward irrelevance, the depressing downward spiral

      Pros

      They have that new shiny (incredibly expensive) office.

      Cons

      Pervasive incompetence, especially in upper management, complete lack of understanding of the necessities of software design, disturbingly susceptible to strongly advocated poor ideas, and toxic infighting .

      While I'm humbled to learn that we have staff at DAT that feel this way, I appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to grow as a result. While no company can be a fit for everyone, we are proud to be part of the leading technology platform in our space and strive for continuous improvement to our culture and ability to build world-class solutions. I (or any member of the management team) would welcome the opportunity to hear more about the specifics driving these concerns so we can address them more specifically. Thank you. Regards, Lisa Henshaw Human Resources Director

      This place has become such a pathetic joke

      Pros

      Nothing really once Jubitz sold the company to Transcore, who then were bought by Roper. The entire place went downhill after 2001 and just got worse and worse.

      Cons

      So many to list. Management that does not care at all about their employees--especially the long term ones. Crappy 3% raise most years. Boring holiday party downtown. HR only nice to the managers and big wigs. Everyone else was just a replaceable number--even if you had been a loyal employee for 15+ years. Every couple months they have a mass execution of the long term employees that are 50 and over. Just got rid of 2 more last week. Horrible horrible place to work.
