Pros
There are very little pros to working at DA, but depending on where you are in the organization, people are happy as long as they’re getting a paycheck. People see the toxicity, but it’s easier to avoid when it doesn’t directly impact them. There are holidays and Fridays off that much of the company is expected to work.
Cons
DA struggles with leadership, communication and transparency. Many managers are micro managers and in my observations it comes from the top. There’s little to no growth opportunities, people belittle each other and partners. It’s a very toxic and tough environment for everyone’s mental health. Bonuses are at leadership discretion and not guaranteed. It’s an environment, where if you don’t know, they won’t teach you and then berate you for it and make you feel like you’re dumb (even though it’s a new innovative product people need to be taught). I would seriously consider other opportunities before choosing DA as your next employer. If you don’t perform, you’ll be let go, we’ve all seen it, it’s almost a joke. It’s very cut throat, not in a way you’ll grow, but a way that will likely break you.
