Pros

DLC has a very competitive benefits package, and I have been hard pressed to find other companies willing to even come close to the salary/vacation offered here. In general, there are a ton of great people that work here, and they are what make the tough days more bearable. All in all, hybrid working options were nice, particularly through COVID.

Cons

More often than not, you will have a poor work-life balance. Employees are continually asked to do more with less, and the reward for doing a great job is even more work. You have a great vacation package, and you will struggle to find the time to actually use the days you are entitled to. There are a plethora off inefficiencies in the way the company conducts business, and its actually sickening (The company wastes large sums of money, and you grow numb to it over time). Additionally, the only constant at DLC is change- there is some form of large scale re-org at least twice a year. Unfortunately, there is little to no accountability when it comes to dealing with the Union. Any attempts at discipline result in grievances where the troubled party walk away with a slap on the wrist, at best.
