Not a great place to start a career. Not a great place to work PERIOD.
Pros
Work in a pretentious office building.
Cons
Job "opportunities" are constantly recycled and no hiring really occurs. The company has been stagnant with 26-30 people for over two years now. The company has some seriously bad hiring habits, and does a poor job at managing talent despite an attempt to hire someone for that role, which ended up being overtly ambiguous and broad. There are good people at Diakont with wasted talent; yet, there are also really bad people there who have developed really bad professional habits for a lack of accountability, and impunity to go with it. There are serious cash-flow issues, because of what appears to be really poor product quality, and correspondingly declining sales. Sr. Management loves to have weekly meetings that accomplish very little, and communicates very seldom, save for whenever a bad review of the company is posted online. The company is Russian-owned, and is led with a very Stalinist style of leadership. People are terrified whenever the Russians visit the Carlsbad site, and local Sr. Management is not trustworthy at all.
