Pros

At one time, this group was a small tier-three advertising shop with modest success. Having fallen on hard times they had to sell. What they've become is sad, miserable, and toxic.

Cons

Every Monday morning was the same. The small remaining group of despondent, miserable, and complacent employees huddled for another disappointing and awkwardly cherry update from Arlington leadership. No wins to report. No new work to announce. Checked out and angry, the team of hangers-on, would begrudgingly embark on yet another week. The leadership team flails and clings to "what worked" ten years ago—when they needed to be acquired. The new company brings on new hires with new energy but the acquired crew quickly ostracizes and gaslights anyone attempting to bring fire to the cave. If you're considering a job here, please reach out to folks who've gone through it. The recruiters want to hire you because you're amazing and hiring you lets them keep their jobs. However, the leadership team and underlings in Arlington will recognize your talents, be woefully intimidated, and ensure you fail. The companies magnitude of positive reviews are fabricated to hike the numbers. Ask yourself why they have 10x more reviews than companies 10x their size.

Pros

It paid the bills and there were some challenging projects that DMI inherited from the previous owner of the contract it took over. I got the chance to to work on a wide variety of technologies and types of work.

Cons

I knew I was underpaid because I never pushed very hard on salary stuff (I did get one 5K raise/title bump, but every other annual raise was 2% or less), and I don't feel there was much support for my growth as a software engineer. A lot of fighting fires, and not a lot of support for paying down technical debt, except when there was approval for considering a rewrite. DMI took over the contract and did a reorganization that nobody working there was happy with. Later on, there was what I believe was a stealth layoff (they had devs working on too many non-dev things and weren't filling positions when they left), followed by some actual layoffs after I left. It's possible these reductions were at the request of the customer.

Learned a lot, but there is no corporate vision

Pros

Small company. You know everyone, and can get things done

Cons

Company never knew how to actually win business outside of low bidding a deal. That works great if you just want to win and sell the company, but it's a failure of a strategy once you flip to a large company and actually have to execute a contract
