Last year, Dubuque Data Services was purchased by a larger competitor of ours, which is based in Canada. They have over 200 employees, and many more opportunities for team members to grow their careers with the company. While the Dubuque office still maintains our small business flavor, we also get the benefits of a larger organization backing us now.
Employee involvement in the decision making process, open casual work environment, ability to work with top-notch talent which raises the bar for everyone.
Cons
Strategic plan is not always clear, very reactive to the market/consumer. Compensation package is average for this size company.
