Vantaggi

Good benefits, nice campus and some truly wonderful people working there (not so much in upper management though). I quit the company last year due to personal reasons, and the only thing I truly miss about this place is the few life long friendships I forged.

Svantaggi

The 'fantastic' benefits are just a ruse for what is a poisonous and unhealthy work environment. There is a lot of favoritism going on for 'experienced' employees who often do not deserve to be working based on their skill set. The company is more interested in hiring beasts of burden who will work umpteen hours and will be satisfied with not moving ahead in their careers. As a result there is a lot of politics at play which rears its head only once you get a good understanding of the company. Job stability is close to none. I have seen some super talented employees being told they are doing amazing work and saving the company money, and then being laid off two weeks following that due to 'cost cutting'. It's a typical rhetoric for a smaller company that has been acquired by a larger company. Future candidates beware, and make sure you clarify what your role will actually pertain. What is mentioned during the interviews is starkly different from what you will experience when you start working. Working hours can be very inflexible and often times ruin your social life. You also stagnate as learning opportunities are limited even though you are promised that your career advancement if important to the company.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you built lasting relationships with your colleagues – it’s something that really matters to us. At the same time, we’re disappointed to hear about things you thought could be improved. We certainly work in a competitive industry, which leads to a fast-paced and sometimes fluid work environment, and we know it has to be the right fit for both us and each employee. We’ve been fortunate to have many people grow their careers as the company has grown and we’re proud of the benefits, perks and camaraderie that have led to a high retention rate, but we know there is always room to improve. We’ll continue to focus on clear communication, expectation setting and career development with our managers.

Vantaggi

DRW values my input and ideas, and allows me to explore new ways of conducting surveillance. The firm is not afraid to try things that may not work out in the end.

Svantaggi

You have to have the confidence to push forward. People will help and guide you, but you must initiate the activity.
