Pros

DICE is filled with some of the most creative, innovative and talented people you’ll come across. There are some absolute gems across the company and it’s been great working at a company where people are so passionate about the brand. Solid pay Free snacks, drinks & breakfast Unlimited holiday policy Overall relaxed vibes

Cons

Unfortunately I have to echo a lot of other reviews here. It’s easy to think that most of these reviews are coming from bitter former/current employees, or that people are “woke” but it’s important to really consider what’s written in these reviews no matter your background. * lack of progression and opportunity. This is pretty much on every level but more so if you are entry level, you will stay there. This is fine because when accepting a job there is no guarantee of progression so it shouldn’t be expected. But DICE has hired so many great minds so shouldn’t be surprised that ppl want more & have more to contribute. DICE is still wasting time talking & mapping out “progression frameworks” rather than implementing them. It’s smoke & mirrors for the fact that there’s little to no growth opportunity here. There should be no confusion as to why people are leaving especially ppl that have been here for 2years+. The bottom line, whatever job you take here, you are most likely going to be pigeonholed, no matter what level. * Incompetent & patronising leadership - this is a hard one. There are some great leaders at DICE and some who I question how they are people managers. They do not represent the DICE values or have leadership quality or experience. Some address us like children. * Lack of diversity - BS reporting on gender & ethnicity pay gaps for the past 2years. DICE should be ashamed for the way in which it has continually chosen to present the data to its employees. For example, we are expected to celebrate “high” % of female leadership whilst ignoring that that leadership is all white. It’s 2024. Learn about intersectionality & do better. As a company that sells tickets for LGBTQIA+ & kink spaces, black spaces & spaces for typically marginalised groups DICE needs to do a LOT better than its counterparts because it occupies a unique space in this industry. DICE continues to maintain the status quo whilst claiming to disrupt it. * Loss of company direction - haven’t got a clue what the company is trying to do anymore. * Office vibes - the vibe in the office is flat and empty. The only thing keeping a vibe going is the incredible DEI team who work super hard to bring people together through breakfasts & ECGs. Without them the culture at DICE would be way worse.

Pros

The most amazing people I've ever worked with. Decent pay. My managers truly care about me and stick up for me, which I can say about very few jobs I've ever had. Workation, unlimited PTO. Remote work. Decent health insurance. Monthly DICE credit. I get to travel for work. Really great vibes and the least amount of toxicity/passive aggression that I've ever felt in a workplace -- I feel super supported by everyone I work with. The product itself is so innovative and has so much potential. I know I also describe a lot of cons, but I really need to emphasize that for me the pros have far outweighed them and I truly believe that DICE has come a long way and will only continue to improve.

Cons

The pay is decent, but I wouldn't say it's especially competitive. The DEI team is lovely and puts so much work into what they do, but hiring still has yet to actually be more diverse. Affected (like many companies were) by tech layoffs a few months ago - notably a lot of those who were let go were POC. There's a long way to go in terms of transparency and long term goals (though I have seen improvement in the time I've been here.) Your experience here hugely depends on the team you are on - myself and most of my team have had almost entirely positive experiences in regards to things that have affected us personally, but close colleagues from different teams have described massively different experiences. Priority is very much always given to the London and NYC offices - most other regions seem to be afterthoughts. (To be fair, these offices are where most employees are, but still.) There is a lot of work still to be done on the product itself but that often seems like it's de-prioritized compared to other things which can be frustrating.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, credits to shows

Cons

Multiple rounds of layoffs, complete lack of transparency, poor leadership starting at the very top that trickles down the chain, no transparency, a boys club.
