Pros
In my time at Deccan, I’ve found that everyone is very friendly and willing to help with any questions I have. I certainly consider the organization to be built upon a solid foundation of teamwork. Everyone is always collaborating, which I enjoy. The company culture is great as well. Employees are given “perk days”, which provide one Friday off every month, as well as closing the office early on certain Fridays. I’ve also noticed that Senior Management goes out of their way to show appreciation for their employees. They cater delicious lunches, and surprise the office with Jamba Juice deliveries. The office has also coordinated happy hours at a local brewery right down the street. We’re even setting up a flag football team to play in a league during the summer. Benefits and perks aside, working to support Fire Departments and Emergency Medical Service is very gratifying. Deccan is a small company with approximately 25 employees. It’s small enough that you know everyone, but big enough so that you have your own defined role within the company. I think that’s important, because it’s nice to know that the work you are doing is making a difference.
Cons
The office is located in Sorrento Valley, which is right off the 805. Traffic can be annoying sometimes, but it’s manageable. Also, the current office space needs to be modernized. Fortunately, office relocation plans are in full effect for Spring 2015.
