Vantaggi

Worked autonomously with a really amazing client, from discovery through to installation. Really unique blend of spatial strategy and design and tech. Challenging pace, no projects the same. Co-workers were lovely.

Svantaggi

Often had to work overtime. Very clear that head office only cares about profit and not its employees or their mental or physical health. Had to pay (frequent) travel expenses out of your own pocket with a long turnaround time for reimbursements. Little to no support from the head office. Months of the year spent working on proposals. Sales strategy is all about promising the world without any care as to the team that will have to do the work on a tiny budget because the markups are so huge. Underpay staff. Hollow words regarding environmental credentials.

Vantaggi

DS does really cool projects and employs passionate people! There's a great collaborative environment and my management respects work/life balance.

Svantaggi

Since being acquired by a larger company a few years ago, some workflows take more time due to extra steps put in place for approvals and systems.

Vantaggi

free food, interesting projects, some nice people

Svantaggi

-no wage adjustment in ~2 years -no career growth in ~2 years(despite trying) -very little collaboration and really bad communication when it does happen. shockingly bad communication from a lot of people who have been writing code for a long time. likely due to the "good enough" attitude here. they really dont care about doing things right. -they have not added a single seat to our team in the two year ive been here. the team is drowning in work. -paid under market for my work -middle management makes technical decisions they are totally unequipped to make -excessive technical debt while building a new product with a skeleton crew.
