Pros

A few smart colleagues who do their best despite the chaos.

Cons

Dstny is run by leaders who lack the experience and credibility to guide an international business especially the CEO, CDIO and CFO. What looked like growth was actually a series of poorly thought-out acquisitions, never integrated and now collapsing under their own weight. Strategy doesn’t exist, priorities change constantly, and decisions are made through politics or personal ties instead of facts. The culture reflects this instability: heavy micromanagement, poor communication, and little respect for work-life balance. New hires are thrown in without support, morale is low, and turnover is constant. Products lag far behind competitors, and customers are noticing.

Pros

Good salary with good benefits

Cons

It seems that management is more focused on responding to Glassdoor reviews to improve the company's ratings rather than addressing the underlying issues employees are facing. In reading the comments below, it’s clear that time is being spent on commenting positively, yet little is being done to improve the toxic work culture that persists. Despite multiple reorganizations, there seems to be little focus on building a healthy and supportive environment for employees. The company has experienced high turnover in leadership, and it's concerning that we may soon have more managers than actual employees. A genuine investment in improving the culture and addressing employee concerns is essential. Simply responding online isn’t enough — there needs to be real action to turn things around.
