Pros

The fact that "Free Lunch Fridays" is the only pro says a lot. One could argue that the pro is "touching cool" projects. One would then have to argue touching "cool, failing projects".

Cons

Management and leadership is laughable. The design studio can be likened to a high school cafeteria. It is riddled with egos and a lack of real leadership. Work/life balance is non-existence. If you're a designer - run! Run as fast as you can. This is NOT the place you want to work - especially if you have any real experience. This place is perfect for beginners who want to "learn". The only problem is as they "learn", they will be inevitably tainted by the "seasoned professionals". The pay is much lower than average. This place brags about diversity: If you're a person of color, female, etc - simply go to the IG page: You'll laugh at the diversity. In all seriousness - there are much better places to work in the city. If the world class clients that this company cons knew everything that goes on beyond the DI veil, they'd reconsider working with them.

With any and all criticism in life, it’s important to ask what in this critique is fair and what isn’t, and what role did we did we all play. We live in a world where everyone is accountable for their words and actions, including leadership. And, I prefer it that way. I sincerely wish that you would have spoken up to me directly while you were here with your concerns. Still, we will take your feedback seriously and work to get better as a team. My door is still open if you are serious about helping us get better.

Pros

The coworkers I had were exceptionally talented, highly motivated, and a pleasure to work with. Projects were usually interesting. If you're a recent graduate, you can build an expansive portfolio quickly by working at DI.

Cons

DI has a very high turnover rate. Compensation is far less than average, and projects always have completely unrealistic timelines. There is no compensation for overtime and crunch, which are both routine and expected. DI justifies low compensation for new hires by saying that the work is unique. This leads to low morale, crunch, and very quick burnout leading to turnover. Company loyalty is a one-way concept. DI recently laid off an entire department with no warning - including an employee who was in the process of moving across the country to work at DI! Execs will brag about the company's success and financial milestones and outright refuse to give annual raises higher than 3%. Also, employees who receive promotions often do not receive additional compensation for taking on more work. If you are a designer or software developer, you can make twice as much working remotely at other companies.

Pros

The best thing about DI is the employees or at least the few great people that remain. There are some extremely talented and dedicated people that make working at DI a great experience. They do offer great flexibility in working times and working remote and overall they have tried to adopt a fun company culture. They offer nice benefits like paid conferences and work from home as well as a fairly aggressive vestment option.

Cons

The executive team and management. DI has a 2 year burnout where they tend to churn through employees like crazy. Right now people are leaving in droves and those that have not left to double their salaries and halve their workload are trying to. They will work your butt off and pay you half your worth. This is not just bitter feelings they have LITERALLY admitted to instituting a policy to pay people "the low end of average". They use a outside software to calculate this and do not disclose these reports to anyone even much of the direct supervisors do not have access to what these outside consultants report. If you want even the smallest raise you have to campaign for sometimes years to get them and they are usually quite insulting. The longer you stay at DI the worse the pay gap gets. Absolutely no loyalty for long term employees and that's why it's rare for people to make it to five years. If you do happen to make it to 5 years look forward to arbitrarily being laid off with 0 notice. They literally just deleted an entire team of long term employees with 0 notice to anyone even people who were using them. They were blindsided in the morning and were already locked out by the afternoon and only one sterile email to explain their sudden departure. Absolutely shameful way to treat people. There is almost no promotion potential and they have instituted so many policies that focus entirely on profit margins and rewarding management over the workers. They will do surveys and say they are listening and then ignore the massive problems of unpaid overtime, dismal pay and 0 promotion options. Then still have the gall to beg people to vote for them as a great place to work in contests because they are having trouble getting talent to apply. If you stay for for a short time get some good portfolio pieces it's not a bad places to work but you should absolutely not invest a significant amount of your life into this company because you will never be rewarded for it.
