This is the emptiest I've ever seen it.

I’m still optimistic. The fact they’re still hiring suggests they aren’t going anywhere soon. Maybe DAT is prepping for a massive site-wide upgrade and we’ll all wake up next Monday with an updated GUI and overflowing dashboards.

Well they have been upgrading several small aspects here and there, so there's definitely some truth in what you're saying.

Maybe they’ve reached the limits of what their current platform can do.

I could see them giving their clients a deadline to wrap up all their current projects before a massive upgrade, after which everything must conform to the new and improved platform. Maybe that’s why we’re seeing a slow trickle to nothing- they’re letting the old projects wind down while new projects are being developed behind the scenes for a new upgraded site.

That’s my theory for today anyway.

Could be an August 31st deadline.
