Pros

My direct manager is fantastic.

Cons

Corporate Culture is BS. If you are good at that, you can join the boys club. The current top level management is all about the bottom line and very little about the customers and even less about the employees.

Too Political to Pivot

Pros

They know they want to do better.

Cons

The recent culture improvements come across as phony when you have several, political silos that are gunning for control over various functions within the organization. There are pockets of great employees from former organizations, but the legacy Digital mindset is very much so still present, delaying any real progress. In the States, HR plays favorites and sadly cannot be trusted. Overall, it's tough to trust anyone as the political environment is just too toxic. To survive, you must unplug and go with the flow or join a faction within the organization and play games at the expense of your team members. Super stars are not encouraged here, rather their shine dulls quickly in this combative environment.

Toxic Boys Club

Pros

Initially a fantastic company that was looking to grow, pay its employees well and have fun while doing your job. Worked with a great group of peers.

Cons

Management is purely looking at the bottom line and their own tails and discounting the individuals that actually did the work. The Telx acquisition ended up being a full on bait and switch. Digital purchased Telx and Telx is basically running the operations. There is the "token" woman in SLT and that will probably never change. If you are looking to move up in your career this is not the place to start.
