Pros

There are people there who do want to make a good product. I very much enjoyed working with the various teams, product leads, and cross-functional folks below director level.

Cons

Directors and above do not know what they are doing. There are frequent (as in at least once every 2-week sprint) large course corrections. Everyone in leadership is terrified of telling certain influential people that they're wrong so development goes in a very stilted direction that doesn't support KPIs or user need or even what would be most profitable. The way to succeed at DAT is make friends with the right people, specifically the C-Suite. If you don't do that you'll either be laid off or completely ignored.

Pros

None really.. they are the worst

Cons

If you're sharing your personal experience, it's best to stick to specific observations and avoid statements that could be interpreted as factual accusations. Here's a rewritten review: > 1 Star My experience at DAT Solutions was extremely stressful and disappointing. Management and supervisors often presented themselves as supportive, but I frequently felt that business priorities came before employee well-being. The workload was often overwhelming, and I felt there was little concern for work-life balance. The environment could be very political at times, and I experienced situations where coworkers were not always supportive or collaborative. The company also has a significant global workforce, which may impact opportunities and team dynamics depending on your role. In my opinion, leadership within Product Support II and the Specialist teams was one of the most challenging aspects of working there. Communication, recognition, and employee support did not meet my expectations. Overall, this was one of the most stressful places I've worked, and I would not recommend it based on my personal experience. This version is more likely to be accepted by review sites because it focuses on your experience rather than making claims that may be difficult to verify.
