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.

Pros

Not much to brag about... -The best thing is their product. -Also a plus...a lot of free lunches

Cons

-Too many Cheifs, not enough Indians. -No communication or respect between departments and the company does no team building to foster it. -Property mangement and customer service are the lowest on the totem pole and they are made to feel that way. -All responsibilities fall on property management regardless of the task. Everyone gets away with passing the buck. No one takes ownership. -No work life balance. If you have a family forget about working for this company. You are expected to jump when they say jump and be available 24/7. -Operates like a startup. Still hasn't found their "groove". Constantly changing processes and procedures. Poor processes in place that don't collectively benefits all teams. -Provides bonus at the end of the first quarter of the following year. -Biggest problem in SJC office is long term employees ability to walk all over people with no consequences.
