Pros

As in the title, free snacks in the breakroom. There is also a TV and an xBox you can use at the risk of getting fired since that seems to happen a lot. Due to the international presence, you do get the sense of working in a larger organization while having the intimacy of a small company. If you're close to the executives, you have opportunity to grow, attend corporate events, get game/concert tickets to the corporate box, or travel the world for no apparent reason. Otherwise, please be happy that you have a paycheck.

Cons

1. Figurehead CEO - won't make a decision without dad's permission. 2. COO a.k.a. the real CEO wants to succeed by hook or by crook. However has a posse of yes-men who can't do anything. If backstabbing was an art - DMI is the top workplaces you can come to and learn from the best. 3. 20 hour workdays followed by taking blame for the above mentioned posse since they were too busy to do their job. 4. Quarterly layoffs based on budget cuts or position eliminations. Yet, the posse remains intact despite not doing much. 5. A culture of pretense - Pretend to be a commercially focused mobile company, pretend the executives are qualified, pretend to have a young/startup culture, pretend to have a culture of performance, pretend to care for the employees. 6. If you are a doer, there are 200 people in the organization to tell you how you're doing everything wrong without actually knowing what they are talking about. Yet if you ask for help to get things done in case you're overwhelmed, you're the one who can't get anything done. This list can go on for days but will not solve any purpose. You can change organizational culture but it is hard to change the basic characteristics of people. There is not much to expect from people who are insensitive, shallow and self-absorbed.

Pros

They have been good to me. My manager was very good, I am contracted to a state organization to a good team. This is probably the best job I've ever had. I recommend them.

Cons

Honestly, I have no complaints.

Pros

Pay on the program I worked on was good. A few pockets of good teams at corporate (finance and hr)

Cons

The culture of the company changed drastically over the past 5 years to one that I can't support. Zero support from the C-Suite and no corporate reach back. Two months of no reply to consistent emails to the C-Suite for support. Years of escalations of issues on the program were met with silence as the money was flowing in. Once it stopped, they were shocked. Rewarding only yes men or yes women instead of those sacrificing for the contract. If you gossip to the C-Suite and don't question, you'll be rewarded. Even a high level senior leader made a considerable amount of money for years but literally lied about Financials and what work his team did. How does that happen?!
