Avoid. - Anonymous employee DCG Communications Employee Review

We're caught off guard by your review but understand that your experience was your own perception and reality. We make every effort to ensure lines of communication at all levels are open to our 100+ employees and provide ample opportunities for feedback and discussions. We're surprised to receive your feedback here and never once in a 1:1 meeting or any other setting. DCG takes great pride in continuously rewarding employees who make meaningful contributions and positively impact our clients. This is not favoritism. Employees with an outstanding attitude and proactive approach to their work will always be recognized. 87% of our staff has been at DCG for 2+ years and it’s been a pleasure to help them take full advantage of all we have to offer. Like any consulting firm, our workloads vary throughout the year based on client needs. The executive team meets weekly, garnering input from our Directors to gauge staff workloads and ensure even distribution among teammates. Upon closing our DC office during the pandemic and the decision to remain nearly 100% virtual, we smartly reinvested this cost-saving right back into our staff. In the last year, we’ve invested in 3 additional overhead staff (Marketing, HR, and Traffic) to provide greater support to DCG's evolving needs; we made a huge investment in a new IT vendor and equipment to ensure appropriate tech support 24x7; and we’ve rolled out an enhanced and well-rounded benefits package. Some perks we’re thrilled to offer are a $300 wellness benefit, $1600 educational stipend, up to 14 weeks of paid family leave; up to 10 days paid bereavement; up to 35 PTO days, 11 holidays, $1000 family expansion fund, and so much more. The future of our contracts is anything but “iffy”. We had an incredibly successful proposal season – winning every contract recompete and renewal, and several new meaningful contract awards. We also received all “exceptional” reviews from our clients through the government’s CPARS rating system. DCG’s turnover is well below industry average, and the small handful of folks who departed this year all went to one firm who relentlessly attempts to poach all of us every day. Our goal is for employees to feel rewarded and empowered in their work, have a sense of connection in a virtual environment, and have fun along the way! If there comes a point where you are dissatisfied and do not feel it’s worth your time to investigate how to improve your situation or seek an alternative role internally, then it is likely time to move on. We wish you the best and hope you’ve found what you’re looking for in the next stop in your professional journey.
