Pros

Friendly competent people who mean well and are fun to work with. $8 per day commuting allowance. Generous annual training budget. Work is generally easy.

Cons

Middle management is very cliquey. Salary negotiations are non-existent and salary increases are poor.

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that not all of your experiences working at DRT have been positive. DRT is committed to creating an inclusive environment with open communication for our employees and would never condone an atmosphere of “cliques”. We continually work to ensure our total compensation package offered our employees is competitive with other companies of our size, location and sector. Your comments are valued and I urge you to contact Human Resources so that we can have a productive, confidential conversation to address your specific concerns. Again, your comments are appreciated and it is my hope that working together we can ensure a more positive experience for you at DRT.

Pros

401 K match; daily commuting allowance of $8

Cons

i agree completely with many of the other reviews that have been written. though when i look at glassdoor i sometimes wonder as to the accuracy of the review so instead of rewriting the same points, see below for some of the most recent reviews which i found to be spot on from my experiences at DRT Strategies. - 'Looks rosy to those in corporate office, but project employees suffer' - 100% agree - 'Stay away from DRT Strategies' - mostly true - 'Secrecy, favoritism, and zero job security. Second largest account in leadership free fall' - very true - 'Politics, Disrespect, and Lay-offs Abound' - 100 % accurate

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experiences while working at DRT. All feedback, both positive and negative, help us to build on our strengths and work on areas where we find we may have weaknesses. “Secrecy”, “disrespect”, “favoritism”, “politics” or other negative perceptions are not at all acceptable, at any time, at DRT. We will review your concerns, address them as appropriate, and look for ways to improve the DRT employee experience. Thank you again for the feedback and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Most of my coworkers are incredible people that I plan on having life long friendships with.

Cons

Where do I start? Firstly, beware of multiple five star reviews on or around the same timeframe. Leadership follows Glassdoor closely and asks their favorites to write a good review (sometimes multiple times) to beef up the firms score when too much truth comes out. 1. All projects are boring and you won’t be doing much except taking meeting minutes, booking meeting rooms, and coordinating agendas. 2. You won’t work with the brightest minds ...due in part because of the below industry standard pay and boring projects. Very few employees with advanced degrees. 3. Leadership will never have your back - they always side with the customer - even if they do something illegal. Client can say or do almost anything unethical and at the end of the day you’ll be asked, “what could You have done better?” I don’t know Karen - maybe find another job? 4. All goals are focused on firm financial growth. Performance evaluations are a joke and a moving target. I was once told by a VP that a person was pulled from receiving a recommendation because said VP “heard things.” WHAT!!!?!! 5. Zero training dollars - at one point everyone got the same amount each year and then it turned into “well, if we like you we will pay for your PMP.” 6. No technical opportunities - at all. Are you a tester? Project ended? Expect to then be “challenged” as a BA or a PM. Oh, you failed because that’s not your background experience or what you want to do? Here’s your walking papers.
