Pros

Lavish offices to show off to investors and give the impression of a thriving business

Cons

Pursues every piece of business it can bid on -- win at lowest cost. Labor pricing so low that company cannot afford to pay the right people for the job after the win. Growth is gone. After winning some huge deals several years ago, the company is struggling to win any new, meaningful business. Now, the old work is at risk as DMI has lost, or is in the process of losing, its small business status -- likely to lose re-competes. Teaming partners regularly mistreated. DMI does not meet promises in teaming agreements. DMI bargain-basement pricing makes it nearly impossible for partners to hit target rates after award. As far as ethical behavior is concerned. Ask around. I wish I did before working here. Backstabbing, fear-mongering, and outright inappropriate behavior (e.g. screaming/yelling) is part of the culture. There are plenty of good former-DMI employees that just couldn't take the lack of professionalism anymore. Not a place to go if integrity means anything to you. Certain employees (e.g. marketing) are encouraged to monitor this site and post positive reviews right after the negative reviews. Just look for yourself.

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?!
