Drinking the poison Kool Aid - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Digital Operative

It's never easy as a company seeing a negative review. As this is our first ever, in over 7 years of being in business, we thought we'd set the record straight on a few things. While it may be that "starry eyed" interns have skewed a result I'd like to note that 25% of our employees were former interns. And of those former interns 4 of those employees have been with us over 50% of the time we have been in business. I'm not a mathematician but those are really good odds. In terms of turnover, we are an agency and a growing and scaling one at that. We've been one of the Fastest Growing Companies 4 years running and have made the Inc. 5000 twice. We have highs and lows. We pride ourselves on finding the best people we can. But, sometimes people outgrow each other, sometimes they move out of state, or change careers, or simply just don't work out. Regardless of the issue, I don't think our turnover is anymore unusual than what you would find in any agency in the San Diego area. Using the term hostile work environment is strange. Considering that the average length of tenor for employees at DO has been over 3 plus years. We enjoy a pet friendly office, a casual dress environment, unlimited vacation, flex time and free food (more bagels please). The only hostility I see is when someone loses a foosball game. Honestly, no one here is drinking poison anything and Kool Aid? Kool Aid is gross. We are however drinking a heck of a lot of Diet Coke and the occasional Margarita. No company is perfect and honestly we do not purport to be. What we do claim to be is a team of DOers, we value each other and the work we do. We may not always get it right, but if we don't we try again.
