Pros

Lots of change and they seem to be trying to address the internal issues. Global company. Plenty of opportunity for growth if you chase it or stay in-line. Some great people and brilliant minds. The newer offices are in good locations and standards

Cons

EMEA office is ruled by crippling and toxic politics, morale is low and there is no loyalty to the company. Management promoted through time at the company, internal networking or purely job skill rather than ability to lead, inspire or having the maturity to handle challenges without politics or aggression Apparently the situation isn't much better in the US.

Pros

Good Pay Product is unique and is in demand Potential to be a huge player long term

Cons

Senior Management spend more time backstabbing each other and other employees than managing the company or the employees. Politics cause more people to either be forced out or leave on their own, even when they are doing their best and are actually achieving results on a quarterly basis. Expected to work 24/7, with no care for family obligations or personal needs - this does not apply to senior management or the sales team, but certainly applies to property management and technical operations. A normal work week is 60-70 hrs a week and includes weekends. There is no room for growth at Digital from a career perspective. It seems that HR is only there to protect the executives and when lower level employees bring challenges up to HR, they seem to be leaving the company after a month or two. Not healthy. The company's internal review system is not anonymous, so you are forced to provide comments that don't reflect your actual experience, both to keep face with the exec's and to hopefully get your bonus.
