Digital Monitoring Products Inc. Reviews

I worked at Digital Monitoring Products Inc.

Pros – Small family owned business that has been around for 35 years. Always growing and leads the security industry in technology from a intrusion control panel perspective.

Cons – I wish the health insurance was better, and as a company that is always growing, there is always growing pains. There is change constantly and I like things to stay the same for a while.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep on growing and keep on empowering employees to make decisions and allow them to own their mistakes, and own their victories.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Digital Monitoring Products Inc.

Pros – This company employs software engineers in the southwest Missouri town of Springfield. It has one of the most detailed employee handbooks I've ever seen covering attire, pre-employment and ongoing drug testing, hours of attendance, and the rest of the many facets of employment at a company with long-standing expectations of growth.

In-house communication is facilitated by inter-office mail, picked up twice a day from the employees' desks, as well as a central voice paging system to most desks in the building.

A summer carnival for employees, dealers and their families is held. A Christmas party is held for employees; their "spouses or fiancees" are welcome also, per the invitation.

Engineers at work are on display at all times as most offices have two full walls of glass.

Cons – As noted there is great focus on employee attire, attendance and other peripheral issues.

R&D is essentially top-down. Communication from engineers back up the chain of command is filtered for content and tone.

Key inter-product development & coordination is a challenge in this environment.

Pay is based upon some unspecified / perceived low cost standard of living for Springfield, MO but this is flawed: There is no pool of low-cost software engineers available for hire in Springfield. Negotiate your best salary up-front. Raises are not generous.
