DSS, Inc. reviews

The managers above the teams are, in my opinion, destroying the company. They are hiding the truth of what is happening from the executives that founded the company. These managers spend a good deal of effort ensuring that nobody speaks directly to the executives and they try to find out about anybody that does so. Speaking up is done at your own peril because these managers will exact their revenge. The teams are trying to be productive despite this horrible environment and it becomes more painful by the day. I am writing this review because I have another offer, but I wouldn't do so otherwise since I am sure they would stop at nothing to find out who wrote this. These managers have somehow duped the executives into thinking they are capable, but the fact of the matter is they are just paper pushers playing telephone with communications (and often getting the facts wrong either incompetently or purposely) that used to go directly from the teams up.

Poorly compensated Does not follow ANY Software Development Industry Standards, although you are required to get your CSQA, ISTQB, CSM etc. (Just to make DSS look good on paper) Although there are some processes in place, they are weak and not followed Management does not respect team members and bullies them Management is weak and doesn't know how to deal with different personalities Management plays favorites, doesn't matter WHAT you know, it's WHO you know Unqualified management that sits in their office and does not interact with their team I've never seen more nepotism in my life (family & friends)
