Pros

Slightly better than being jobless If you're just desperate for some work experience and don't mind a couple awful years. Then by all means, hop aboard this sinking ship. Nobody with options comes here, so they're always eager to hire.

Cons

CEO is constantly steering the company in the wrong direction. Executives have to hold his hand and micro manage him to avoid catastrophy. The employees are always voicing their ideas and concerns but they fall on deaf ears. Sure they have a social committee, but a free lunch once a month wont magically fix all our problems. The bad reviews here ARE NOT just from people who were let go. This feeling is shared by mostly everyone currently employed. The CEO begs people who are "happy" to leave reviews on glassdoor, see for yourself how many there are. Make sure you're happy with your starting salary, you wont be getting a raise. Every year they find a new reason to withhold raises from the majority of the workforce. Absolutely no work/life balance The CEO is obsessed with everyone working in office, Most people just communicate over Teams, It's working remote, but from a waste of money office. At the end of every fiscal year, the company heartlessly lays off/fires huge groups of people, even ones who are doing well. Then they just hire back new people. This cycle continues annually and hinders the company's growth.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re concerned you are not having a positive experience at Dye & Durham and encourage you to speak to your manager or a member of the leadership team to discuss your feedback further. As you know, the business is evolving with an ambitious growth plan. This involves regularly assessing performance, processes and the overall organisational structure to ensure we are taking care of our people and our customers. With this comes some tough decisions that can result in restructuring teams, but that is always a last resort as we do our best to move staff around to different teams with the hope of keeping them within the company. In addition, we actively encourage employees to review our job openings and apply for positions they are interested in. We understand that business decisions may not always be understood and we appreciate that can be unsettling for our employees. We also believe that working together in office fosters a stronger sense of community, strengthens relationships and encourages collaboration across teams. As a current employee, you would know that we follow a standard, cyclical approach to salary increases, which is rooted in performance. Our current merit process is still underway and while delayed, salaries are assessed individually each year to ensure we pay employees fairly based on their contributions to the business. If you have any questions or concerns, it’s important to connect with your manager, HR or a member of the leadership team so a positive solution can be reached.
