Svantaggi
Actively toxic atmosphere. High-stress, tear-you-down, sky-is-falling every day culture — not a rough patch, but for multiple years now. The business model personnel-wise is to churn staff under the age of 30 every 12 months, then hand off work to contractors — if you stay longer than that, DDC is coming out ahead. Terrible at hiring and attracting talent, so many get fired inside 90 days (never seen this happen anywhere else). Fancy titles like “Associate Vice President” go to people with ~2 years of experience so that clients think they’re getting attention from legitimate mid-level pros. Working on a single unsuccessful political campaign qualifies one as an “expert political strategist”, according to the staffing page and BD materials. They send out workplace review surveys, then when the results are terrible either say "we're going to make changes" and never do -- or they just plain don't share the results.
