Pros

- Health benefits are decent

Cons

I’ve worked at this company for a while now, and unfortunately, it’s been the worst experience I’ve had in my career. Here are some of the key issues: - The salary is lower than market standards - The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is disconnected and lacks empathy. Layoffs have become common, and they are rarely acknowledged, even though it's often due to the leadership's own shortcomings - Urgency-driven culture where projects often fall flat or become chaotic - Many managers are unqualified for their roles, lots of title inflation here - The environment is toxic, with managers who pretend to care but often have a destructive impact on their teams

Thank you for your feedback. We disappointed to learn that your experience at Dye & Durham hasn’t been positive. We appreciate that restructures can be unsettling for our employees, but hope that you understand that these business decisions are complex and are ultimately to improve the way we do business. We believe our staff are the best in the business. We have exceptional employees, and they are a major contributor to our success. Plus, we follow a rigorous skills and values-based recruitment process when we are looking to hire external talent and only chose individuals who have been assessed against the core competencies of the role and the company DNA. In fact, our recent engagement survey shows a positive weighting to all questions relating to the connection our employees have with their managers --this is an area that we are very proud of! We encourage you to speak to your manager, ELT member or HR to discuss your concerns in person.
