Pros

There are some great middle level managers and DS has world class technologies.

Cons

DS corporate HR policies are in line with other large corporations (not a good thing) but some of them are tyrannical and do NOT have the employees well-being in mind. One policy in particular forces employees back to the office for a minimum of 3 days a week (after working remote since COVID). Ok, no big deal for most but why after 4 years do they feel it’s necessary? What happened to their trust? This is causing some hardships. DS claims to care about people, the environment and being sustainable. But in reality, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing; forcing workers back on the road, burning more fuel and car emissions- whether you live 10 miles or 175 miles away, NO EXCEPTIONS. This is also a company, that during COVID gave short notice to its employees, UNCONSTITUTIONALLY mandating they get vaccinated with an unproven, non-FDA approved drug. Basically, take the jab or you’re terminated. I had to seek legal help to keep my job and that policy did NOT age well. I imagine there will be a lot of class action lawsuits in the near future. In Summary, DS pays well but beware of that smiling facade; offering bagels on Wednesdays and ice cream socials…but it comes at a price. Big brother is tracking their employees locations daily and performs audits to keep you between the guardrails. So good for the soul.
