Dynatrace

Quick and efficient onboarding process.

People were helpful from the beginning.

Very interesting product and tasks.

Manager (at Dynatrace, this role is called the Team Captain) is not trained and not fit to lead a team of seasoned software developers. They would better fulfill their skills at a hardware store or as a warehouse manager. Strong focus on Agile processes and ceremonies instead of the product and delivering business value. Pettiness and ongoing accounting for the smallest mistakes. Micromanagement and lack of trust in the team members result in creating a very stressful atmosphere.

I would check the background of candidates being hired or meant to be working in team-leading roles.

If I was the leader of the Gdansk location, I would gather feedback from the developer teams to see if there are no signs of deviations leading to the creation of a toxic atmosphere that decreases the overall efficiency of teams.

I would also reconsider if two managing positions within a team of a total of five employees (2:3) is not an overkill.
