It's kind of a niche business, so it can be tough to translate that into future roles with other companies (depending on your role).
I was treated well, but I saw different cases that I thought were unfair. If you are liked by the right few people, it makes a big difference in your success here.
Power is held pretty much by one person. This can make it difficult because you don't have the variety of opinion and background that you get in larger companies. It makes it hard to grow and change as a company sometimes.
I've seen really good people in middle management leave the company because of power conflicts with the person in power, so it's tough if you come in for a role like that.
Not really a company where you can move up much. There just aren't places to go upward.
Dorn doesn't always listen when employees are pushing for change. There are many smart people with good ideas, but a lot of it is not listened to if the person in power doesn't agree. Can be frustrating and leads to employees feeling like they're not able to contribute and have it matter.
Dorn feels like a family most of the time, but when things go wrong it can definitely turn into a culture of finger pointing and blame, instead of taking it as a chance to fix problems in the processes. Often the same people get blamed.
