      A Stepping Stone with Room for Improvement

      Pros

      The owners of DK are fantastic, genuinely caring, and have a clear vision for the company. When the company was smaller, it was a wonderful place to work, with a great atmosphere and opportunities for growth. There’s a lot of recognition from the outside, and it’s often seen as a "cool" company to work for, which can be a good stepping stone in your career. Solid benefits and 401k plan.

      Cons

      However, as the company has grown, the personal connection to employees has faded, and it can feel like you're just another number. Metrics are constantly shifting, adding an element of instability, and if you're not aligned with the company's "frat bro" culture, it’s hard to fit in. The office culture revolves heavily around drinking and partying, which can be alienating for some. HR is not very supportive, and turnover is high across multiple departments. An example of not feeling appreciated was when the Reign Makers department was shut down, and we were given their old swag as Christmas gifts—a slap in the face after all the hard work we put in. It’s difficult to build a long-term career here outside of your own department. Raises are rarely given, despite promises of performance-based increases, which can be incredibly frustrating.

      Good for some people

      Senior manager, analytics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good people for the most part - Nice office with snacks, haircuts, free drinks (coffee, beer etc) - Office is located in a good location - Looks good on a resume

      Cons

      - Large amount of important tasks/work is given to a small number of employees while others are allowed to coast - Becoming nearly impossible to get promoted past certain levels. This is part due to low attrition at the Director+ levels but in part due to the Director+ group holding those below them to impossible standards (that they themselves could not meet) - focused too much on evening out the male to female ratio. Women get preferential treatment within analytics for certain roles/promotions - Salaries aren't really that competitive anymore
