Pros
Some great coworkers who deserve better.
Cons
Any positive reviews here are guaranteed from upper management. No current or prior employee would rate this place 5 stars! Be prepared to work long hours without being paid for overtime. Many other reviewers aptly described the CEO/President and it is all true. Unfortunately in Dean Kamen’s mind, he is Bill Gates. The truth is barely anyone knows who he is or that Deka exists. The top managers are essentially people who have hung around from the start of Deka; not necessarily the most qualified. They know Kamen is a lonely nutty workaholic penny pinching millionaire but they never let him know the truth so nothing ever changes. They tell the boy king what he wants to hear. Their behavior is on par with a cult; these same people are only “pretending” to drink the kool aid, so they can retain their jobs. Kamen is nearly 70; his employees will remember him as a greedy self obsessed show off.
