Great team and vibes, but low pay hurts - Business Analyst DRT Strategies Employee Review

• Highly visible role - I work directly with top executives • Learned the strategies that work (and don’t) in this kind of business • Good mix of clients from both the public and private sectors • Excellent career progression • Supportive colleagues • Closing huge deals that bring in cash incentives • Generous benefits: 401k, bonuses, commuting reimbursement, dental/health/vision plans, disability/life insurance, FSA, and PTO payout / rollover program • Nice office building

Some old school practices that need updating

Individual project assignments came with clear scope. Management stayed out of the weeds on daily work.

• Every diversity training session repeated the same message about inclusion, yet nothing in daily operations reflected those promises • The leadership team looked exactly the same as when I was hired despite constant claims about bringing in different perspectives • Candidates from underrepresented backgrounds were hired but received far less mentoring and advancement support than others • Diversity initiatives were heavily advertised during announcement weeks and then completely disappeared once other priorities took over • Leadership positions repeatedly went to people from the same backgrounds despite having qualified candidates from other demographics available
