Pros
After reading a few negative reviews, I felt compelled to share an honest perspective. In my view, many of the criticisms are either misinformed or do not accurately reflect the reality of working at Damar. Damar has a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, particularly within the office. Comments about “cliques” do not reflect my experience. Everyone who joins the company is welcomed, and there is a genuine effort from colleagues to include and engage with one another. Naturally, those who actively join conversations may interact more frequently, but no one is ignored or treated differently. Having worked here for many years, I can confidently say this is one of the most welcoming companies I have been part of. I was also surprised to read allegations of unprofessional, illegal, or discriminatory behaviour. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated and would be addressed immediately. The workplace is inclusive and accessible, and the culture does not allow for bullying, belittling, or micromanagement. Respect and professionalism are core expectations. The work–life balance is another real strength. The majority of staff work remotely, with only a small number working in a hybrid arrangement. Standard working hours are 9–5, with no expectation of starting early or finishing late. There is a clear boundary between work and personal time, which allows for a healthy balance and flexibility. Overall, my experience at Damar has been overwhelmingly positive.
Cons
There is not many, not the best salary but not the worst either. Lack of room for progression.
