Pros

Nice office space, free lunches when you are on site.

Cons

I was hired, and the hiring process was delayed so I started way later than I initially was suppose to. At first, I was told it was because of a role that needed to be approved by senior leaders and then a few days later it was due to a system issue.. I started there and tested positive for COVID, and I was fired for missing work even with a doctors note provided. When I spoke with my manager, she had advised me that it wouldn’t affect me and that it would just have to be unpaid. The training process was also all over the place. I did not feel like I was given or walked through proper policies when I initially started the job. I had a new hire orientation after one month of being there instead of in the beginning like most companies do. After a few days, and listening to a mock call we were thrown to the wolves on the phone. Coming into it without any industry knowledge just felt a little bit overwhelming to just put someone on the phone that quickly. There was no real structure I felt within the training process. Circling back to being fired, I felt like the manager was rude. She didn’t offer any like exit interview or anything. Just overall a bad experience and would not recommend DAT. Pay is low for the work.

Pros

There are some really talented development staff there with some hard working, analytical people. A recruiter could make a fortune placing these folks elsewhere!

Cons

Ruined by cluelessness by the Product Management team and Development leadership. Many projects cancelled after significant development efforts due to lack of (or constantly shifting) requirements or failure to do value/revenue assessments before hand. Dev leaders won't make a decision and stand by it; likes the latest buzzword regardless of reality. PDX office made big deal of moving to new work space, but open environment is noisy and horrible. Had to beg to get blinds to cut sun glint. They promote is as a "coolest place" to work because they have beer once a month... Old school examples: Pay for snacks. Beer is locked down except once a month. 5 year vesting on 401k. Quarterly fees on 401k. 2 different time tracking systems. Arbitration clause in employment agreement.

While it’s good to hear you think so highly of your former colleagues, and were part of the team for so long, it’s hard to hear that you feel senior leadership let you down. It’s important to note that DAT has made significant changes among senior leadership in both Product Management and Product Development since this review was submitted.

Pros

My team, a dedicated group of loyal employees, despite the company not rewarding and valuing them appropriately. Very dedicated and smart employees on all teams. There is opportunity to move around within the company into different roles and departments.

Cons

-20 people recently laid off with no warning and zero explanation. "Restructuring" doesn't really cut it when it appears that there is an effort to rehire for those same positions. -Lack of respect or acknowledgement of people who have been loyal to the company. Poorly compensated for the jobs they are doing, solely because they have been loyal and stayed with the company. - Insufficient increases and bonuses and no defined bonus structure - Lack of good onboarding when new employees start work (although that is being worked on) - Seems to be a clear plan to move most jobs to the Denver office (and changes have been made to LinkedIn profile, etc. that says there are co-headquarters now) as the CEO lives there and is building out additional space to accommodate growth - Wishy washy policy/response to remote working and mixed signals on what is expected of current employees, while advertising and hiring remote positions
