Dudek's trust-based culture, profit sharing program, flat structure, great colleagues, wide range of project opportunities, and great management team make the company very unique in the industry. The people at Dudek are hard working and committed to doing great work for their clients. The company invests in the tools and resources that employees need to get their work done.

Cons

So far, so good, but to keep up with the company's growth, the organizational structure will need to continue evolving.

Abusive, toxic, and unethical.

Pros

Excellent technologies, scrappy bidders, good coffee.

Cons

When a contract is won, an arbitrary budget is established by the PM that hourly workers furnish. Dudek's profit strategy is to undercut its technicians as much as possible, then PMs pocket the money in their semi-annual bonuses. As a result, I was asked often not to report hours I worked, or re-arrange hours to avoid overhead. Verbal abuse is general practice. I reported that my superior cut my hours as a punishment to higher and the response was "well, that's the way it goes sometimes." They do not promote from within, and because of their high turnover rate, this company will fold in the coming recession.

Pros

In the more than 5 years I've worked at Dudek, I've been able to explore my interest areas, contribute accordingly, and work on projects that have stretched my abilities in order to grow my skill-set and develop professionally. Hard work and initiative that leads to results is rewarded with more trust and autonomy, allowing you to really take ownership of your career development. In addition, in my experience, colleagues have been more than willing to lend a hand and collaborate--even and especially when it's crunch time and deadlines loom. There really is the feeling that as employee owners, we're all working together toward a common outcome. Above all, there's no conniving gossip or bureaucratic micromanagement--just good people who are good at their jobs getting the work done and having fun while doing it.

Cons

- No paid holidays between New Years and Memorial Day--the Spring Fever is real! - Long tenure of staff lends stability, but also means some of those same people can be slow to accept/implement modernizations that are perceived as different from how things have always been done

Dudek's commitment to hiring good "culture fits" is a critical piece of our recruitment and retention strategy. Dudekians thrive on being empowered with the right support and tools to add value to our clients. If you enjoy that freedom and are self driven, you have endless career development opportunities here. Thanks for sharing your experience and for the great suggestion about floating holidays. HR has that information and will look into it.
