Pros

$8 daily commute allowance, good PTO, good training budget. Not a bad place for young employees looking for an entry level job.

Cons

Culture: Like many reviews previously stated, the company is cliquey and extremely not transparent in terms of merit increase, promotions, and performance review. The company takes little interest in retaining employees, and is perfectly fine with hiring new employees. I do think it has to do with the general consulting culture, but the mid to upper management will literally do ANYTHING to keep the clients happy, which leads to lose of their own employees. Compensation: After leaving DRT, I discussed compensation packages with ex-DRT employees and concluded that the company severely underpays the lower to mid level workers (somewhere between 15-30% under market value).

Pros

I enjoy building solutions that are both practical and useful. The projects are interesting and keep me focused. Another big plus is the knowledgeable and supportive team. People share expertise and ideas when there’s a complex issue to tackle. We also have a smooth collaboration with analysts and stakeholders, which makes it easier to work efficiently.

Cons

Flexibility is important here, so be prepared to make quick decisions and adjust your plans as you go.

Pros

Individual project assignments came with clear scope. Management stayed out of the weeds on daily work.

Cons

• Every diversity training session repeated the same message about inclusion, yet nothing in daily operations reflected those promises • The leadership team looked exactly the same as when I was hired despite constant claims about bringing in different perspectives • Candidates from underrepresented backgrounds were hired but received far less mentoring and advancement support than others • Diversity initiatives were heavily advertised during announcement weeks and then completely disappeared once other priorities took over • Leadership positions repeatedly went to people from the same backgrounds despite having qualified candidates from other demographics available
