Pros

- Good salary + working conditions - Nice colleagues - Inspiring CEO - US team seems solid - Good and solid product - Junior people who want to learn and gain valuable experience will have an amazing time here but don't stay too long

Cons

- Company is a mess (at least the Dutch office] - HR recruiting process doesn't make sense - New hires are promised the world, also when already working there, but very few promises are actually realized - There is no real strategy, higher management is micro-managing but no real direction for the company, big concern - Talents/skills of staff are not fully used - Senior hires will run into a lot of frustration. I have seen a lot of senior staff getting frustrated and walk out or forced out. - Junior staff should not stay too long at Datenna. At most 1-2 years. Then you get the most out of it.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate the balance of positive and constructive feedback. Indeed, as a growing company, some structures are still being established, and certain processes may require fine-tuning. While many employees enjoy the challenges and opportunities that come with our dynamic environment, we understand it’s not a fit for everyone. We will make sure to communicate this aspect of our culture more explicitly to candidates. We are happy to share that many of your concerns are currently being addressed: - End of last year we established clearer mission & vision statements, and core values. - Management has introduced a comprehensive business plan extending until 2026. - Collaboratively with our teams, we have defined cohesive goals and targets (OKRs) for 2024. - More senior employees have been added to our management team, and our hiring plan includes the onboarding of additional senior colleagues this year. Thank you again for sharing your insights with us. We are continually working to improve our company, and your input plays a valuable role in this process. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. Kind regards Team People and Culture
