Excellent place to work. Many employees have been here several years. Team strategy aligns well with company goals. Technology teams are constantly reviewing better ways to use technology and provide learning opportunities for new skills, frameworks, and languages.

Pros

The staff at DFA is made up of great and smart people. Feels very reliable and comfortable for the most part. Decent benefits and felt like you could

Cons

The rigidity feels enforced for visibility more than culture. Hard to get promoted or get any kind of substantial raise unless you're a favorite or have a manager who is willing to be annoying to advocate on your behalf. There is a lot of demanding that you buy into the culture and dynamics in order to succeed.
