Pros

The only thing this company have is a good brand name, nice office, and nice people to work with. And all goodness ends here.

Cons

Disclaimer: After reading this you will think over hundred times whether to work or not in DMI. 1. Worst HR policies Growth/Onsite/Appraisals at whims and fancies of Directors Fear Driven Atmosphere. People are treated as plain resources with no mentorship, respect or support. Will be bullied if you are late, you get nothing out of your hard work, No appreciation, and real appreciation goes for some fat r*a*t*s(Leads) who proclaims project success because of their Hard work(which they actually never do) Management Promises comp-off if you work extra (which you have to do if you are given unrealistic deadlines on targets), and declines them when you ask for it. 2. No respect whatsoever for people who actually build the products/softwares. People are treated worse than use-and-throw paper cups. Actually sh!t Some people have been fired with immediate effect. This causes mental trauma besides the obvious financial, time and efforts lost in vain suddenly not just to the individual but to her/his entire family! This can never be compensated for. 3. After you resign, they never leave you before notice period ends (which generally is 2 months) even if project doesn't have any dependency on you. No buy out option. Even if you decided to move on, don't expect any respite . 4. Dirty politics, some people who have long tongues become official secret spying agents for management 5. Recruit people with one purpose and ask them to do completely unrelated work in software/designs, almost to the extent of lying and misguiding people during interviews 6. No long term growth policy for company or employees and no learning. Too bureaucratic for a company pretending to be a market leader, lot of pretense, false posturing. You wont see the same people if you visit the company twice with a gap of say 3-4 months between your visits (Worst Attrition ever! Ever!!!) 7. Recruits hoards and hoards of interns to get work done for free without value-addition to their experience 8. The company will make you come into office as early as possible for daily standup meetings (which would be mandated by the Director to listen to his useless sh!tty speech ) 9. Not to mention you have to work on Saturday and Sunday in order to avoid Missing the Deadlines set by managers. 10. No secure cabs for woman employees. Sometime woman employees are pressurized to work late( due to client given deadline) and woman employees generally go home late night in locally hired cabs without Security Guards. That said, be warned that the company writes fake positive reviews to offset the huge volume of negative reviews so read them with caution before you make a huge mistake

Pros

Employees can be compensated for their accrued vacation time, if they leave. Yep, they actually tried to take that away from us.

Cons

These are the beltway bandits you've been warned about, squeezing customers and employees alike to get the maximum profit for the least amount of value possible. Overpaid, inexperienced kapos can't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. The people who actually work are constantly pressured to do more work and work longer hours to cover for managers' incompetence, all while getting their compensation chiseled away at every turn with ham-handed manipulation of insurance and benefits. When you push back, the kapos tell you "it's competitive, all employers are doing it." Maybe the worst of the worst employers, during the depths of the recession, to the least competent employees. Most employees don't have to put up with this treatment, however, and they're leaving in droves.

Pros

Good benefits (401k match,medical/dental/vision/pet insurance), free snacks/coffee/tea/soda, comfortable physical working space, flexible hours & remote work options depending on role & manager. One can gain experience in various areas because it is a small office and responsibilities may be shifted as necessary.

Cons

Company has struggled to earn a profit so in-person meetings, tools and tool enhancements that would create efficiencies are not available. Minimal operational planning is done because there is no true understanding of the value nor is there competence. All operations activity can be described as ad hoc at best, but more accurately as continual fire fighting. Essentially a blind eye is turned to known bullying and disrespectful/rude behavior by managers and subordinates that do not have mentors. The HR department run out of the corporate office in Bethesda is inadequate at serving Lincolnshire office. There is no understanding of local needs, no follow up on feedback provided by employees and upon termination of at least one employee, the HR rep said, "Have a nice day!".
