Dynatrace reviews

I hired into the Detroit office and although I had been warned about ongoing dysfunction, things seemed okay at first. Then they went through a clumsy layoff process and shuffled all the teams. PMs dragged their feet for a couple years trying to come up with a roadmap, leaving dev teams to just sort of figure things out on their own. The VP talked about mending the rift between the Austrian and American divisions, but he never actually did anything. The Austrian side had lots of resources and much attention given to creating standards and practices and tooling and libraries, but with little to no sharing or collaboration with the Detroit office, which they would then treat with disdain for not doing things "the right way", I had a someone once tell me that it wouldn't surprise them if the corporate strategy was to just ignore the Detroit office until it finally withered and died. That's a pretty good characterization of what it felt like while I was there. The folks who had been there awhile just seemed beaten and resigned, afraid to lose their paycheck but otherwise woefully unfulfilled. We attracted a lot of really talented people, but it didn't take long for most of them to get neglected or disrespected and they jumped ship for better opportunities. I honestly wish I hadn't accepted their offer.

Channel partners are non existent. This alone fuels more success at Data Dog. Our team lost every POC that we competed in during my time at DT. Data Dog crushed us every time. The SE team is very insulated and protected from bad press by design, they lack accountability because it’s just easier to blame the sales rep and move on. I had 4 managers in 3.5 years the last one being the least desirable and most confrontational. Every simple task like approvals or quoting is an absolute nightmare piled on top of the SE accountability issues. It was really bad a year ago,, I am sure it’s worse now. Not week goes by and I notice another tenured rep leave DT that had made quota in the past.
