Pros

If you like being part of a Cult, then this is the Nirvana of Cults

Cons

The Culture is poisonous. How the culture evolved is a bit of a mystery. Some of the very senior people are fine. There are a few bad apples though who instead of being removed, either got promoted or have been left in mid seniority positions. This is in London.

Cons

Company moved it's headquarters from Santa Monica, CA to Austin, TX. If you want a career with Dimensional you need to me positioned in Texas.
