DKMS Reviews

This isn’t a “Where do I begin?” situation. The issues at DBC are systemic and can be traced back to the incredibly inept, incompetent, and at times childish directors/managers who are making the decisions. The organization is amazingly dependent on the flagship offices in Germany. In many cases, this is used as an excuse by managers as to why many of the problems are existent. While this is the cause for several problems facing DBC, the majority of these issues exist as result of the lack of foresight and vision at the management level in the US. The managers are quicker to place the blame of a problem than they are at attempting to resolve it. This finger pointing mentality has led to a culture of mistrust and anxiety when dealing with interdepartmental relations. Any issues presented to the Human Resources department fall on deaf ears and in most cases are never discussed again. Annual goals are mostly unascertainable as a result of the great success seen in the flagship offices. These unrealistic goals hinder an employee’s annual bonus and morale on a day to day basis. Decisions on long term processes and internal systems are often altered weeks, if not days, after implementation. The mission is unlike any other but the morale is not reflective of that. I would recommend that DBC get it together but I do honestly feel that ship has sailed.

Where to begin: First any positive review (4+ stars) was left by management and that should be the first indication of why you don't want to work here; if you have to fake an employee review to boost your rating then clearly there's something wrong. Which brings me to my second point, management SUCKS; Within the past year we lost our CEO, COO, HR personnel, and they just announced that we are opening an office in NC, moving 3 of our departments from NY to the NC office. And guess what they did with the people in those 3 departments? Fired them all; including the heads of those departments. No transferring to a different department, no offer to move to NC; all in the middle of a pandemic while we're WFH. They do this consistently; they do not care about employees and if you work here, trust me they won't care about you either. US managers will micro-manage you to the point where the job actually becomes stressful. Unnecessary weekly meetings, the DUMBEST employee reviews every year, they give you work outside your work-scope as they like to take advantage of their employees and squeeze as much out of them as they can while offering a VERY sub-par salary and no yearly raises. You're based in NYC, pay your employees (not just managers) a livable NYC wage.
