Pros

The culture of DSI is collaborative, supportive, and genuinely patient-focused. People here are talented, honest, and kind. There is enough focus on innovation to be future-oriented, but not in a way that gets caught up in trends. The organization is large enough to provide lots of opportunities, without being so large it's crushed under it's own weight. Lower turnover gives you a chance to really know your colleagues and build strong teams. The leadership has a strong, clear vision that doesn't falter with every market condition. Most importantly the products provide a reason to believe and a sense of purpose and pride to be a part of the organization. Overall DSI is a really excellent place to work.

Cons

The organization can be a little slow moving and stuffy, very conservative in terms of risk. Can be slow to promote.

Pros

Flexible work schedules. De-stressor weeks without emails or meetings, half day summer Fridays, and dedicated no meeting times. Positive company culture and values. Good people and coworkers.

Cons

Some resistance to change. Work life balance and job satisfaction seems heavily dependent on department/function and line management. Often too much work asked of too few people. Sizable pay discrepancies for same title/role. Difficult hours, with the need to join very early and very late meetings to accommodate US and Japan times.
