      We appreciate your feedback and DDN does focus on a supportive work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance, which many employees genuinely appreciate. We try to create a office environment that is energetic and welcoming and the hybrid work model provides helpful flexibility when needed, making it easier to stay productive while managing personal commitments. That said, there are some challenges with the recent small reduction to invest in other areas of the business. Overall, the feedback has been that the Bangalore office is a good place for flexibility and balance, but there’s room for improvement so thank you for the helpful insights.

      High turnover and unreasonable hours

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some talented and passionate colleagues who genuinely care about the products. Interesting technology in the storage space, though always playing catch-up to competitors like VAST.

      Cons

      Extremely high turnover for more than a year — employees leave or are terminated suddenly without clear communication. People often “disappear” from Slack and email, followed by vague announcements about “strategic realignments.” Constant pressure and unrealistic workload expectations, including mandatory weekend support, long days, and being asked to stay available during holidays — all these without any compensation. Lack of transparency from engineering leadership. The focus seems entirely on pushing toward an IPO, with little attention given to employee well-being or the long-term development of other projects.
