Development Services Group reviews

Senior management are sexist, homophobic, racist, and narcissistic. They regularly verbally abuse staff. The senior managers are very passive aggressive and will talk poorly about you to other employees. Never try to give any constructive feedback to management, even if they ask for it, because they will see it as a personal attack and it will only put a target on your back. Expect to work incredibly late nights and often. Senior management usually don't show up until noon and expect you to follow their schedule. Business development at this company is a joke. They always wait until the last minute before even starting a proposal and you can most assuredly expect to be there til 1, 2,or 3 o'clock in the morning the days leading up to the proposal due date. If you are a young woman, expect to be talked to and touched inappropriately by senior management. It will become clear very early that they view you as inferior to the men in the office. This is also reflected in the salaries. Senior management purposely underpays their employees, while then turning around and doubling their own, and it is especially bad for young female employees. Turnover is incredibly high for such a small company. It cannot be overstated enough, stay away from DSG. There is no future for new employees and certainly no room for growth. Upper management have zero interest in cultivating employees skills or encouraging employees to grow within the company. Do not consider working for them.

Favoritism/nepatism is the best way to get a promotion here. The president lies about everything. Before taking the job, I had a SERIES of questions that I asked to make sure this was the right place for me, and the president lied about all of them, putting me in a bad situation. They are cheap all the way around, and cram 2-3 people in offices meant for one person. The upper level staff do not communicate, so for us lower-level people (me) must get things done for individual projects and the project managers allllll think their project is the most important. Randomly the president and his wife (owners) will ask you to stay late, with no notice at all. We're not allowed to get paid overtime, though. We have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to comp time. Generally everything is really sketchy, which leads to resentment and people stabbing each other in the back. You never know who you can trust. I've been here 7 mos, and am at a complete breaking point. need. to. get. out. DO not work here. I read these reviews prior to taking the job thinking, it can't be THAT bad - well trust me, it is. the worst part is they expect you to work until all hours of the night at the drop of a hat. and they think it's a privilege that you are working!! I have my Masters degree and I did more complicated projects as a grad student.
