Pros

People you may directly work with can be amazing. You can jump in with little experience or knowledge and learn a lot FOR YOUR NEXT JOB.

Cons

Every communication from leadership seems totally tone-deaf and unaware of how employees are actually struggling or what is needed. People are completely burned out and struggling to get through the day. It's one gut punch after another. Every year there is a new corporate shuffle or a new team layout and all the "improved structure" from last year gets tossed, Dillon cannot seem to get it together. If you want to support PMs in tears and admins feeling like second class citizens, then this is the place for you. Work during vacation time, work here! Get mined to create company resources have then fired, work here! Be told to stop asking for clarification and just do the work, work here! Have a manager tell a group of people how they know it was a really hard week and everyone is working OT but "at least no one yelled at me", work here! Report racist and sexist issues and be told "that person is harmless" or "it's just a joke", work here!

Pros

Great company for energetic young staff seeking experience and a range of projects. For those who enjoy working in a fast paced environment, Dillon is the perfect setting enabling them to quickly gain experience and develop skills. Those interested in working with a diversity of communities, with different sectors, and in different geographies will have great potential and exposure to work in a variety of settings. Company rewards go-getters. Staff who are not Associate or Partners get overtime or time in lieu.

Cons

During slow periods, stress is high as staff can be let go at a moments notice. Much of the work is carried by staff, but management gets all the credit and glory. Those younger staff who aspire to be Associates and Partners are dazzled by the glory of title and bonuses. Associates and Partners are pressured to purchase thousands of dollars per year in company shares. Decisions are controlled by a select few. There is a lack of mentoring between older partners and other staff. Staff are left to fend for themselves, and depending on who the Partner is on the project, could be thrown under the bus to take blame for projects gone wrong. Customer is always right no matter, even if it is the clients who make mistakes. This is hard for staff as there is no team solidarity and project managers do not support them when things go bad.
