Pros

The way in which folks interact with each other makes the culture feel kinder and gentler than most. The company has been growing leaps and bounds but management seems to continue to support a feeling of "family" which makes for a nice work environment. There are so many new hires. Perhaps the combination of their enthusiasm and new ideas will be enough to put the processes in place that DAT lacks. However, it will only work if those long-tenured employees are willing to look at the business through new lenses.

Cons

There has been a revolving door of people coming and going which has resulted in a clash of new people with new ideas and new ways of looking at the business with folks that have been around for 10+ years and not open to new ideas. Processes are lacking so it feels like the company is in constant paralysis when it comes to launching new products. Although a technology company, DAT relies on antiquated systems and a lot of manual processes. In regards to comments about not being progressive, there is zero effort in support of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. Company has been very aggressive in getting folks back into the office (as a result a lot of folks left opting for more flexibility to work remotely) and the number of paid holidays given off is pathetic (name me a company that doesn't give the day after Thanksgiving off?!) DAT is riding on the success of their load board business but if that ever declines, not sure what else they have to fall back on.

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.
