Pros

DS does really cool projects and employs passionate people! There's a great collaborative environment and my management respects work/life balance.

Cons

Since being acquired by a larger company a few years ago, some workflows take more time due to extra steps put in place for approvals and systems.

Pros

Large and complicated projects, proactive coworkers, intelligent and creative discussions, exciting technology and design outputs. Fantastic work life balance that I didn't think was possible with this type of work!

Cons

Things can be a little disorganized ... scrappy nature of the company makes it a little resistant to more formal pipelines and structure. Culture can be a little bro-y but there are active steps towards remediating this as of end of 2023

Pros

free food, interesting projects, some nice people

Cons

-no wage adjustment in ~2 years -no career growth in ~2 years(despite trying) -very little collaboration and really bad communication when it does happen. shockingly bad communication from a lot of people who have been writing code for a long time. likely due to the "good enough" attitude here. they really dont care about doing things right. -they have not added a single seat to our team in the two year ive been here. the team is drowning in work. -paid under market for my work -middle management makes technical decisions they are totally unequipped to make -excessive technical debt while building a new product with a skeleton crew.
