Wonderful on the outside, poisonous underneath - Anonymous employee DRW Employee Review

The 'fantastic' benefits are just a ruse for what is a poisonous and unhealthy work environment. There is a lot of favoritism going on for 'experienced' employees who often do not deserve to be working based on their skill set. The company is more interested in hiring beasts of burden who will work umpteen hours and will be satisfied with not moving ahead in their careers. As a result there is a lot of politics at play which rears its head only once you get a good understanding of the company. Job stability is close to none. I have seen some super talented employees being told they are doing amazing work and saving the company money, and then being laid off two weeks following that due to 'cost cutting'. It's a typical rhetoric for a smaller company that has been acquired by a larger company. Future candidates beware, and make sure you clarify what your role will actually pertain. What is mentioned during the interviews is starkly different from what you will experience when you start working. Working hours can be very inflexible and often times ruin your social life. You also stagnate as learning opportunities are limited even though you are promised that your career advancement if important to the company.
