Supportive Culture, Rewarding Work, and Exciting Growth at DBG Health - Anonymous employee DBG Health Employee Review

- Flexible working hours were a strong positive before a management change. - The team itself was skilled, collaborative, and supportive despite the environment.

- The team consisted of eight engineers (data, BI, and analytics) reporting into three managers with competing priorities, resulting in unclear direction and constant context switching. - Management lacked effective prioritization and people‑management skills, leading to confusion, unrealistic expectations, and low morale. - There was no defined career progression or development pathway. - Agile practices (sprints, daily stand‑ups, etc.) were introduced but used primarily as a micromanagement tool. Performance was judged largely by burn‑down charts rather than outcomes or quality, discouraging honest estimation and sustainable delivery. - Over time (In the span of 4 months), approximately 90% of the team left, largely due to management practices and the overall working environment, resulting in significant loss of knowledge and continuity.

DBG Health is genuinely a great company with good people, meaningful work, and a supportive culture. I enjoy the mission and the team, and I believe the organization has a lot of potential.

The biggest challenge is the lack of flexibility around working arrangements. Since COVID, the way people work & live has changed significantly. Many companies now offer at least some hybrid options because it improves work life balance, employee satisfaction, and productivity. At DBG, all employees are currently required to be onsite five days a week. In my previous role, we worked from home two days a week and that flexibility made a huge difference. I was happier, more focused, and more motivated to put in extra effort. Here, the rigid policy has already made me consider leaving, and I know it may discourage strong potential candidates as well.
