Pros

Unlimited PTO that you’ll feel guilty using

Cons

Every other review here is 100% correct. The CEO and his loyal minions have no idea how to run a business and shift blame from one person to the next, tanking company culture. It’s a great place to snag a good job tittle but you won’t stay long.

Pros

Compensation is good, hours are regular.

Cons

DUST has been in a downward spiral during my time with the company. The CEO's personal failings have driven every experienced executive away from the company, leaving only cowardly, impotent yes-men that tiptoe around him and add to the dysfunction flowing past them downstream. When new leadership or talent comes in, they've always said "this isn't the company I thought I was joining". The CEO thinks he's a master salesman, when really all he's realized is "lying is easy and you don't often get caught". The board (apparently) still thinks things are going great. He seems to lie to them as much as to new hires about the company's history and trajectory. Once they're in the door, new hires (especially at the director / executive level), have a few short months where he feigns interest in their advice and feedback, and think "he does care, he's just got a lot on his plate". That's what I thought, too. Then months go by, you're late on a project that he's sabotaged, and you see the mask slip. He doesn't care to change, he just acted like he understood your advice so that you'd think he was an effective CEO. To his credit, he's the only person at DUST that thinks the company has a future. Most who've been here longer than 3 months knows he's doomed the company, and either are actively trying to leave, or paralyzed with anxiety. I hope we all get out, and find some peace.
