It's not hard job to keep and do well in (with little effort) if you're smart. average skill level for devs is low - which can allows decent devs to stand out without much effort
Pay is really not too bad compared to the wlb and flexibility

been here for about 3 years and starting to resent the level of quality of the majority of the staff. There are good people here and there but the majority skill/intellect is mid which can be demotivating at times

Truly a great company to work for. Personal development is a huge focus and this is a company that you will truly grow at. Having worked or had friends that worked at at a most of the big Boston tech companies, can confidently say DK will both treat you better and help you become more than any of the others

A lot will be expected of you and the company does emphasize performance. But it will give you the support to get it
The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
