Pros

DLR Group overall is a good company to work for. However, I’ve noticed that some office locations—particularly those that were part of firms acquired by DLR Group—have experienced a significant shift in workplace dynamics and not for the better.

Cons

DLR Group as a whole is a solid company to work for. However, the Dallas office has developed a toxic work environment that seems to stem from leadership and trickles down through the rest of the team. The culture feels more like a popularity contest than a collaborative workplace, which has created division among employees. This has already had a noticeable impact on retention, with six people leaving the office in just the past month alone.

Culture Shift

Pros

Benefits are ok, and a lot of people that are really talented. Cool projects.

Cons

Culture has shifted for the worse. A lot of decisions made at the top without explanation, but they push employee ownership and that everyone has a voice without actually listening. Return to office 4 days a week and no paid parking. Pay is low.
