Pros

Awesome people, challenging work, and always something new...I can't believe I have passed my 2.5 year mark. I feel like I have lived 3 life times at DK and can't see myself leaving anytime soon. We are fully remote until July at this rate, which has been a challenge for everyone. But even then, the company has been SO transparent with updates & news. They are allocating funds for officer furniture & WFH necessities. Always putting us first. I miss the office and my teammates but I know someday we will get back to that and be better than ever. Some more pros - internal mobility, being compensated fairly with promotions if you do a good job, quality management etc

Cons

Crazy busy but we are creating an industry so, it comes with the territory
