The biggest con to working at Digital Strike is the owner and leadership.
I left Digital Strike because of the toxic environment the owner created. There are too many experiences I had/witnessed that would never be tolerated at a company with an HR department.
If you’re considering working at Digital Strike, I would ask questions about accountability for leadership. If you’re a current employee wondering if the environment and behavior are normal, I can confidently tell you that it’s not. During my time, there was no HR, or board of directors, or shareholders to hold the owner accountable. This is important because without accountability, change never happens.
Since my experience, I've come to value what healthy work environments look like -- having boundaries, structure, and leadership who are held accountable. Most of which were not found while I was at Digital Strike. Beyond the inappropriate behavior, there was micromanagement, passive-aggressiveness, and manipulation (bought lunches so we wouldn’t leave/take a break) that stunted the growth and development of employees.
I’ve taken my experience to help shape me into being a better teammate and leader. However, if I could go back and change things I would’ve avoided working at Digital Strike altogether.
If you’re young and looking for experience - look elsewhere. If you’re seasoned, don’t waste your time. And if you’re a woman, Digital Strike should be avoided.
