Pros

I dont see any pros in this company . If you want to spoil your life join this company.

Cons

I have never seen a company of this type .Few days back they asked the employees to give positive reviews in glassdoor and send the screen shot of that and whoever gives the positive reviews will get 20$ each . Now Imagine yourself what kind of comapny is this .

In an effort to update Glassdoor with more recent reviews from current employee and encourage feedback, DrFirst did ask employees to post their testimonials, perspective and story on Glassdoor. We did not influence the direction of the reviews, nor require positive reviews be posted, negative reviews with productive input is also valued. To express appreciation for the time and thought required to post a review, we did offer a pullover jacket or $20 to thank employees for the time invested on our behalf. We take the feedback in the “Cons” and “Advice to Management” sections very seriously, and encourage all employees who are unhappy to speak our HR or management team so we can understand the issues and take action to rectify the situation.

Pros

1. Network with other staff. Build relationships that can benefit you with future employers.

Cons

1. 9 - 10 hour days are expected. No flex time. 2. No career advancement. 3. Seating arrangements are not conducive to productivity. 4. Email distribution to staff on March 8, 2013 providing incentive of $20 gift certificate or corporate pull over if positive Glassdoor review was written. Ten "winners" would receive $100 and a digital professional photo including hair and makeup (for use on LInkedIn/Facebook/DrFirst website. 5. Employees with knowledge and experience are not valued with this employer.

Pros

Very organized on-boarding process. Lots of fun, feel-good employee "appreciation" events. Monthly company-wide meetings that keep everyone in the loop. Easy access to leaders and staff in every department. Nice building and location.

Cons

At first glance, the pros sound pretty good, yes? Look beyond the shiny veneer. Pay attention instead to the unusually high turnover in many departments. It’s cyclical and predictable, and it’s a direct result of ineffective leaders who are unable to connect with, inspire, mentor or develop their most promising team members. As a result, their best and brightest leave, bringing their talents, ideas, energy, light, innovation and can-do attitudes with them. Left behind are those who have resigned themselves to settle for less, keep their heads down and bring home a paycheck. That’s hardly a winning recipe for innovation. And yet, I watched it happen over and over again, in several departments. And this, DrFirst, is why you are unable to dominate the market and move to the head of the pack in the secure messaging market. Your VPs, directors and managers continually discourage and repel the energy, the talent, the ambition and the potential of your best hires. Your “leadership” team has brought you as far as you can go, but you refuse to see it. You have certainly separated the wheat from the chaff, I’ll give you that.
