Pros

The relaxed environment, no suits, ties or strict rules to follow is great. There are many fields to pursue within the core markets that DPR focuses on, you have the ability to not get pigeonholed. The exposure to different technology and experiences is really exciting. The compensation is competitive, but sadly, you may have to prove your worth versus your manager looking out for you.

Cons

No rigid standards is good, but there needs to be guidelines and clear expectations. DPR was able to be loose, fake it and make it up as they went along from 1990-2010, but now with the size of the company, if they don’t get their people and processes in line, the threat that will bring DPR down is going to come from their own doings. There are no “titles”, but that a bunch of crap, people know the pecking order and senior management uses this intimidation to influence people. The other thing with no titles that DPR take advantage of is they can charge a client for a PM but pay a PE to do the work, but mask this hypocrisy by saying, “we need you to show us you can do it... the money and promotion will come...”

Very difficult place to work for Sr Managers

Pros

Excellent compensation package, good atmosphere to work, people are friendly an helpful. Interesting highly technical projects.

Cons

DPR will work you until you drop, literately, be prepared for very long work hours and very little quality of life outside of work. It is becoming a cult atmosphere, give your life to DPR or leave. Some very high level Sr manager..... one of the worst people I've ever worked for. It took me a solid year to recover after I left, physically, mentally and emotionally.
