Pros

Over the last few years there as been so much growth internally and externally, which has been a learning experience for everyone. There are positives and negatives to every company when they grow at the rate we have. The company's culture is vibrant and inclusive and truly fosters a supportive environment, where I feel valued and heard. Work-life balance is supported heavily as well, which is nice because I can excel in my role but also maintain my own person well- being/life in general. It has also been great to get the chance to grow professionally and personally at DK- strong encouragement on skill development and career advancement. Collaboration is meaningful and part of the daily life- great to get the chance to learn from others and create a fulfilling workplace.

Cons

compensation is within market but overall strong benefits
