- Top-notch technology (market leader in APM)
- Many opportunities to learn
- Very trustful and cooperative environment (colleagues are competent and respect each other)
- Flexible working hours (work-life balance is excellent)
- Freedom of work (only a few rules on how to manage my team and/or work) - no micro-management
- Fair payment
- Several goodies on the local office like free coffee/breakfast, regular social events, etc.
Cons
Yes, there was some restructuring going on in the past (Compuware & Thoma Bravo), but we never felt much of an impact in R&D except the changes of email addresses and logos.

Your headline is right in my experience. Where else can you work for innovative company with market leading products, "if you see a better way to do something, do it" attitude? Unlike publicly held tech companies, Dynatrace does what's right for customers first, and can pursue forward-thinking solutions w/ few constraints. An exciting time to be with this company!
A lot of what happens to your career is beyond your control. You can be a top performer and still only meet satisfied in remarks. The customer success departments went through some changes earlier this year and it left it splintered. A lot of toxic environments take place in pockets and everyone is cliqued up. I suppose you could say this is like every corporation, but this was junior varsity level office politics. If you made someone upset you could be next.
Most of the executive leadership and brings in their buddies who have no idea how the product works and all of the veterans have left by now. It's mostly a game of grab behind and brown nosing.
