Pluspunten

- free beer - free food - team events

Minpunten

- work long hours - unreasonable delivery dates - unnegotiable delivery dates - force you to buy their product because if you are not a customer you cannot understand it? - changed job title, description and expectations without consulting me, they hired me for a junior dev position but soon changed it to senior level without consulting me or changing my renumeration package. - we can replace you, which maybe it true but man what a toxic way to work. - meetings, I had meetings every hour or so mostly just micromanaging things because your manager needs to know what you are doing at all times and wants a progress report on the hour but still expects you to meet the tight deadlines set. - OKRs which are just a list of things your manager promised his manager he would get done and than force you to accept to do them. - they used the contract as leverage during your probation period constantly reminding you that they will not hesitate to let you go if you do not meet the deadlines I think I could go on forever but I had a really terrible experience working for this company, I don't think the whole company is bad as I have friends who are happy there but if you work for D&A Dach my friend you are in for a ride, good luck.

Pluspunten

There are some genuinely nice people here but that is the only real positive. Even they are slowly leaving because the culture has become too toxic to stay in.

Minpunten

Highly political culture with no real promotions. Leadership is insecure, ego driven, and more focused on protecting themselves than supporting employees. Micromanagement is constant, communication is poor, and priorities shift without explanation. Quiet layoffs happen with no transparency and usually protect the same small group. The new US marketing lead has made the culture even worse. He was difficult to work with before and has only become more problematic in a higher role. There is constant questioning, no clear vision, and nonstop steering that sends teams in circles. It is hard to understand how he keeps moving up the ladder despite repeated negative scores and consistent employee feedback. Independent analysis, including the Grizzly Research report, highlights similar issues such as unstable leadership, lack of direction, and a business that feels like it is declining. What the report describes matches what employees experience inside the company. Even if the CEO or HR choose to ignore these problems, they remain the reality employees deal with every day.
