Pros

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work at a such a fantastic company. 1) Smart, empathetic, hard working people 2) Our product is a market leader and we do quality work for the most design-centric companies in the world 3) Inclusive, supportive culture. no politics or pettiness 4) Approachable leadership team that is personally invested 5) For a tech company, good progress toward gender parity 6) High growth rate is balanced by responsible decision making, meaning there is tons of growth potential for individuals and we don’t have the insecurity of a typical startup. Best of both worlds. 7) generous benefits, beautiful office on the river, tasty snacks, flexible work options

Cons

Our team is lean. It never feels like we have quite enough hands on deck so we all work hard. Work life balance is generally respected but when you’re working, you hustle.

Thank you for the review! We are so happy that you also see the power of empathy in our peers at dscout. Likewise, we are excited about dscout’s DEI journey (and glad you are as well!). As a startup, we are often lean as the business evolves and we tackle new challenges. If you have any ideas how to make us more efficient and effective during these moments, please share them! That feedback is so valuable.

Pros

For someone who's curious, capable and empathetic, it's hard to think of a better organization to join. So many companies, including some of the world's largest and most important, turn to dscout to better listen to and understand their customers. It feels like important work -- and it is. There's a strong mission throughout the organization that's easy to buy into, and a clear roadmap for building for the future. A few things worth noting: - Culture is top-notch, with regular happy hours, learning opportunities and events. - Employees are proficient, talented, engaged and interesting -- it's easy compared to other work environments to get things done and get them done well. - Benefits are excellent, particularly PTO policy and insurance offerings. - Lots of trust and autonomy within your role -- little micromanagement if you're getting results. - Flexible work environment on start/end time, occasional remote work, accommodating appointments, etc. dscout invests in you and your success. If you care about people and about doing good work, you'll love it here.

Cons

Office space has gotten tight amid team growth -- but, dscout is moving to a bigger and better office space in early 2019. Also, interviewing is pretty in-depth, which helps build a strong team, but you'll want to research and understand the company before talking to a dscout employee.

Pros

Growing, vibrant company with a huge opportunity in its field. Fun to work at a tech startup that is fundamentally about helping businesses better understand people. Lots of startup energy plus experienced leadership. Collaborative, congenial team. People get along with each other, believe in the mission and enjoy coming to work. Great location in a vintage building in River North. Really strong benefits for a growth stage company.

Cons

Some minor small company growing pains but leadership is open and actively working to keep strengthening the culture.
