Pros

Our business of helping Carriers find loads and move freight helps both people and the economy. I worked with some great people and we delivered good products.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement as an engineer. Five years of senior and executive leadership turnover has led to instability. Each wave of new leaders blames current employees and processes and has all the answers. This pattern has led to more division, politics, and toxicity.

Toxic Culture due to terrible leadership

Pros

* The folks in individual contributor roles are good to work with. * The company’s in a good position financial. * DAT has a potential for growth — especially with how much opportunity there is to digitize and streamline processes in the trucking industry.

Cons

* Job security is shaky — there’s an underlying sense that no one’s position is truly safe. * Upper management is extremely cost-focused — raises and bonuses are rare, and there always seems to be a reason to say no. * Leadership feels distant — there's little effort to connect with employees on a human level. * The focus on performance often kills the joy of the work — pressure is high, and appreciation is low. * It can feel isolating — like you're on the outside looking in, excluded or stonewalled from meaningful conversations or opportunities. * Managers are more focused on pointing out flaws than developing talent — there's little support to help you grow into a role that aligns with your strengths. * There’s favoritism — a select few are visibly valued, while others are made to feel invisible, regardless of effort or contribution.
