Pros

Competent people and a very friendly and cooperative environment. Great work life balance. It's clear management wants to not overwork employees.

Cons

DAS42 continuously bragged about this year being the "year of acceleration" and hired about 30 new hires straight out of college. They onboarded these employees in two waves between June and July. a month and a half after the july cohort joined the company it was announced 48 employees of the 110 were going to be laid off which included most of the employees hired in June and July alongside Senior leadership. Employees were given a meager severance and kicked out of the office with no warning including recent graduates who had signed onto apartments and moved across the country weeks earlier. Leadership failed to secure sales deals and properly manage the budget and their solution was to keep their jobs and pay and lay off half the employees with no regard for retaining their reputation.

It's true, we had lofty goals this year and we, unfortunately, weren't able to reach them, which resulted in having to right-size the organization. We have learned from our efforts and are putting plans in place to reduce risk going forward. Still, we are heart broken about having to let go so many amazing and valued colleagues. We care about you and the situation you're in, please remember to reach out to Amy to ensure you’ve received information on ways we’re trying to do what we can to support you and others affected.

Pros

Most of the employees at DAS42 are bright kind people who are great to work with. Unfortunately the company is run very poorly so you may not be able to work with them for long.

Cons

Leadership at DAS42 is extremely poor. Employees are regularly getting spam and phishing text messages sent to their personal phones impersonating senior leadership at the company. When this was brought to the attention of HR they said they knew about it but didn't know how to handle it so employees should just ignore the messages. Clearly they aren't very secure with employee data for this to be a pervasive issue. Leadership also went on a hiring spree, bringing on tens of employees in the months before executing a lay off impacting nearly half the org. Overall the people are great, but unfortunately senior leadership needs to go before anyone should consider working at or hiring DAS42.

Pros

People were nice and helpful. Unlimited PTO (I guess but I never got to using it for the reason below)

Cons

This is long overdue but I was part of a layoff in late 2022 after only being hired a few months prior. They laid off about half the company and I was in the unfortunate half. By the way, I had just signed a lease for a new apartment in a new city one week prior to the layoff. They went on a hiring spree, recruiting a ton of people, only to lay them off a few months later. I personally had turned down another job for DAS, which I would soon regret. Why hire so many people, when you know you are not making enough sales? And why only pay one week's of salary as a severance pay when you gave zero day notice for laying off. And speaking of the pay, be ready to make way less than average for the same work you'd be doing. They give you the title "Associate Analyst", instead of "Data Engineer" or "Data Analyst" (which are more appropriate job titles for the work you'd be doing) probably because then they can justify paying you less by creating a new category for you. If you're looking for job stability or a decent wage, don't go there. They really have no idea how to retain talented people at the company.
