Pluspunten

Free snacks; nice area; friendly, smart coworkers; and chance to work on many different, interesting projects. Good place to get some real world experiences whether good or mainly bad.

Minpunten

Poor management, high turnover, being used as a scapegoat for why projects weren't done at the date promised (if the team says it'll take certain time, believe them,) project managers breathing down your neck until something was done, thankless required overtime, and being under paid for the work you're doing because you were hired to do something else. I would blame the CEO for the problems, but while I was there he was barely ever in the office. This place will eat you up and spit you out. Work somewhere else that respects their employees better.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

free food, interesting projects, some nice people

Minpunten

-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.
