The pay is not good. The demographics are definitely skewed to white and young. Once you begin to age, they pretty much shove you out the door, not because of performance, but because they have a fetish for young people. Advancement has everything to do with falling into the founders' clique, which is a pretty ugly click to fall into. Imagine a frat-boy atmosphere of sophomore-ish old men with no family lives and chicks on their mind. To get a management position, its best to party with these guys, stoop down to their level, drink a lot, ignore your family if you have one, and be a general cad of a useless bag of skin. Management uses "performance enhancement plans" to drum people out. Once they've marked you (for being older, caring about your family more than DDC, or having a life), you will be put on a path of constant pressure and engineered "failure," until such a time as you either quit or they show you the door. Beneath the illusion of caring for employees, there is a parasitic class of hanger-ons that are friends with the "Chief Earthling" (yeah, that's his title). They are his party-entourage. They get their jobs through friendship with the Chief Earthling for silly jobs in the "Life Department." The Life Department exists not for the benefit of the employees, but really in order to give jobs to the Chief Earthlings cronies. There is an overpriced organic cafe that serves the food that the Chief Earthling wants to eat. Those within his special entourage often eat free while those that actually produce do not. Since I've left DDC, I've met many people in the Burlington area that have nothing positive to say about DDC, only negative experiences and/or stories they've heard. The company has a reputation as a "cult." Perhaps "cult" is too strong of a word, but it surely resembles one in may ways.
