Vantaggi

The company creates an amazingly wide range of video types so it’s never boring, and there’s always an opportunity to challenge yourself and grow your skills. Mostly clients are great, love the work we do for them, and understand what it takes to create the quality they’re looking for. It’s exciting and incredibly gratifying to be involved in creating visual stories for companies, academic institutions and nonprofits that are literally changing the world. The team at Digi is very special, and reflects management’s determination to not settle for mediocrity. There is no dead wood here, which I appreciate because it means I don’t have to help carry someone who is coasting, or try to fix someone's poor work. We all work hard, we all do good work, and we all like and respect each other.

Svantaggi

As anyone who’s worked in video and media production knows, the market has changed dramatically over the past several years. Clients want more, and they want it faster. The luxury of patting oneself on the back for being Emmy and Telly award-winners while continuing to make the same video over and over (taking months to do it) is gone. It can be hard to accept that working here means you don’t ever reach the finish line with skills and creativity. You have to keep growing and keep getting better. There’s no coasting. For some people, that’s not a good fit.

Vantaggi

The opportunities you receive from working at Diginovations are invaluable at any stage in your career. The team behind Diginovations is an incredibly talented, passionate, hard working staff of individuals. The Digi team is closely knit. You will quickly find that you’re working alongside friends, not coworkers. This means, your opinions are heard, your ideas are explored with excitement and interest, and your health, family, and wellbeing are cared for. In my time at Digi, management and human resources spent lots of time finding stronger, more competitive benefit programs for their employees that resulted in better retirement funds, HSA, and travel reimbursement. The leadership is not that of your typical “Boss” mentality. It’s said a “boss” gives orders, but a leader leads. From the moment I began at Diginovations, the management showed true leadership, leading by example, they are in the thick of the long shoot days, single day edits, and the consistent travel. Another benefit to Digi’s atmosphere is the constant welcome toward expanding your horizons, trying new styles, or altogether building new skillsets. When I began, I started within a few aspects of production, but the consistent freedom to experiment, as well as purchased resources to explore outside of my assignments, allowed me to improve my craft in a range of still photo and video applications. Some instances include, flash kits, lighting scenarios, drone operation and licensing, multicam setup and operations, motion control tools and equipment, sound, software tutorials, and more. On top of the work and office atmosphere, there is a fascinating component to the diversity of work that runs through Digi’s veins. Equipped with knowledge in every form of media content, Digi produces educational, academic, social, corporate, live show, product, mini-doc, non-profit, and so much more. This variety disparages any monotony within the schedule. Diginovations is incredibly well versed in its trade with a focus on capturing depth, emotion, and story in every project. I can’t imagine you would find a more well rounded crew of people with this level of passion in creating video and photo work in Massachusetts. Diginovations cultivates a passion that encompasses creativity, people, ethics, growth, and integrity.

Svantaggi

I don't believe there are cons caused specifically by Digi OUTSIDE of the realm of work that they do. This line of work whether it is with a company, freelance, or contract based, requires some moments of sacrificing time or comfort, but again, Digi makes it a point to provide compensation to their employees through travel/milage reimbursment, overtime hours, as well as in-office appreciation lunches, and more.

Vantaggi

We created award winning pieces and were praised by most of our clients. I say most because we had one employee that was cancer and we'd have to deal with clients directly to clean up his messes when he wasn't sexually harassing female interns and staff for years. But he no longer works at Diginovations, so that's one for the pro side!

Svantaggi

When we had work, it was often rushed because one of the producers (we'll call him Mont) would over promise and under deliver. It took nearly a year and a half to get a raise I was promised after always being excluded from bonuses and incentives. Systems were overtaxed and outdated. I had to train my own boss to do things he claimed he knew how to do. Complaints to management would fall on deaf ears. The president of the company lied to employees and laid half the company off after funds were poorly managed.

I am sorry that these two persons had negative experiences while working at DigiNovations. Although, I am puzzled that they felt compelled to write about their experiences in 2016/17 - 2 and 6 years after their last day with the company. Since that time many changes have been made and we believe the criticisms noted are no longer applicable to DigiNovations as it exists currently. You have only to look at the website, reel and blog and Facebook page to see the quality of the work, the client list and culture at Digi. The work is sharp, the vibe is collaborative and positive. DigiNovations’ strives to do its best to improve, keep things fresh and serve its clients in the most transparent way possible and - I might add - with the most up-to-date field equipment and post-production technology. Strategically, since 2014, in addition to constantly updating our production and post-production toolset, we have diversified our offerings. We have a dedicated 2D/3D animator; we handle multi-cam livestreams in-house; we currently do a great deal of photography and drone work (we support all employees to earn commercial drone licensure) This speaks to our commitment not only to ongoing professional development overall, but also our interest in keeping all of our work in-house. In terms of salaries and benefits, DigiNovations offers competitive, simple and clear packages for entry level PAs as well as senior level producers. It is my goal as executive producer to ensure that revenue and salary growth are constant and forward moving. Since 2014, the company has succeeded consistently on both counts while simultaneously growing the size of the staff. Our work continues to garner multiple Tellys annually. We believe that this is the result of having a core of longstanding team members who enjoy bringing their best creative selves to work every day and enjoy sharing an inherent and ongoing passion for excellence. In 2017, we celebrate the opportunity to raise the bar with each and every new project. We aim to continue to thrive and grow accordingly. Sincerely, Whit Wales Executive Producer
