Vantaggi

Some incredibly talented colleagues and very interesting projects that are professionally rewarding.

Svantaggi

Workload & Burnout: A significant portion of the team is overworked and experiencing burnout. Project teams are often understaffed, leading to an unbalanced and unsustainable workload. Lack of Process: The current project process is almost nonexistent, which causes disorganisation and leads to team members being excluded from crucial project phases. There's also a lack of understanding regarding what each discipline does, creating confusion and making it difficult to collaborate effectively. Diversity & Inclusion: There's a clear lack of diversity, particularly in leadership. The company has moved from two white male leaders to five, which suggests a failure to address equality and equal opportunity. A glass ceiling for women is observable; less talented men are promoted while skilled women are overlooked for advancement.

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.

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.
