DMI reviews

The Senior Executive staff is the worst mistake this company could make and it has only proven to go downhill from there. They just keep adding more and more vindictive employees to their shady staff of executives and is only continuing to hire such. The morals and ethics mandatory test the company sends out to their employees isn’t necessary and a waste of everyone’s time. Morals and Ethics of this company is purely based on favoritism and the only way to move up is to be “IN” with CEO and/or his sidekicks and willing to stab anyone in the back for your own benefit. Your actual hard work won’t pay off. The turnover rate for this company is ridiculous and only continues to worsen. The job security they provide is non-existent and you will often be lied to and manipulated by fellow colleagues to either bribe you to stay or, mold you into someone you never imagined you could become. There’s often under the table business deals going on and countless unprofessional encounters between seniors and subordinates. A majority of the Senior Staff isn’t willing to compromise with anyone else’s ideas so don’t think you’ll be coming into the company able to contribute a single pitch. However, they have no problem personally taking full credit for any contributions you may make. If you’re looking for a place to grow and seek new opportunities, just know that you’ll have a lot of kissing up to do in order to move up. This company is led to believe it’s a Fortune 500 IT Firm by covering it’s reality with spending money on things such as their fancy modern office design, high end lavish parties and useless knick knacks called “DMI swag” with DMI branding. They pretend to care about their employees with such materialistic things, but at the beginning of each work day, you wish you didn’t have to be there or dead.

There is absolutely no communication from management to employees. You will be hard pressed to even find an org chart on the company intranet. The management team operates within its own bubble, and if you are not part of the "club", watch your back. The company likes to think it is hip and cutting edge, but that is all smoke and mirrors. They operate like it is still the 80's, where decisions are made behind closed doors and communicated after the fact. Not once was there ever even an all-hands meeting at Corp. Hdq to share current developments, achievements, the vision, etc. etc. The kinds of things most companies that are engaged with their employees do. Not at DMI. The CEO is a football fanatic, so every conference room is named with a football theme or expression. I guess that is great if you are still living a high-school dream. They offer free junk food and sodas - how cutting edge is that?? (cutting edge - no, cutting costs - yes) Soda and "gold-fish" are about as cheap as you can get. I also couldn't believe how many DMI employees I noticed that stand outside and take smoke breaks. Nothing like having to walk past second-hand smoke. It's amazing that in this day with all that is known about how cigarettes kill, to witness the number of folks from this company that smoke was alarming. Their approach to BD is purely reactive and ad-hoc - they chase just about everything, and there is no real vetting of opportunities. But then again, they are really just hoping to either sell off the company, or perhaps do an IPO at some point. The Federal business exists purely to subsidize the commercial Mobility group, which you don't really hear a whole lot about. That of course is consistent with the lack of communication from management. Best advice is to steer clear of DMI, unless you enjoy the typical beltway bandit mentality.
