Pros
Amazing people who are passionate, energetic, customer-focused, and innovative. The product is unique, and we're making rapid progress and continuing to push the envelope of what is possible for analyzing energy markets. Our client base is incredibly diverse, which makes them interesting to talk to, and they enjoy working with us. They are willing to collaborate and share feedback and ideas. Allen sets a unique stamp on the culture and the opportunity is entrepreneurial without someone looking over your shoulder or telling you how to do your job. You figure it out and have the flexibility to leverage your strengths to the benefit of the organization. I've seen other posts saying DI is a poor place for women. I am a female and have worked in other industries and companies. DI is the first place I've been where I have felt and seen zero gender discrimination. I have been respected since the day I walked in the door and I am happy to have met many talented females across the firm working in various roles.
Cons
Travel... Austin is a wonderful place to be based but not where the majority of our clients are located. It is also difficult to work across geographies and stay connected with folks in other offices, particularly those outside of the US.
