Stay Away! - Consultant DMG Blockchain Solutions Employee Review

- The team/employees are great - The work is interesting

PLEASE stay away. It is not worth it. Each day working with the folks running the company is mentally taxing, and having to turn a blind eye on immoral practices. Anyone who's capable of leaving will have already done so, or is in the process of doing so. These are not the folks you want to work for. If I could give a score lower than 1, I would. - The leadership team is incompetent, examples below: - I'll give Sheldon credit for being honest; he will let you know his opinion (whether or not he's right is a different question), and tell you how he really feels. He won't mince words if he feels that you're not working hard or fast enough, though his expectations are unrealistic, and borderline illegal. No, working at nights shouldn't be expected. No, working on the weekends isn't the norm (especially not for this type of a "start-up"). He will try to abuse any government grant, or work programs to hire the most vulnerable people in the industry - fresh graduates, folks on work visa. That in itself isn't surprising, as that seems to be (unfortunately be) fairly common in the industry, but he will hang that over your head, almost threatening you with it. I will not get into the nepotism he displays, but there's a reason why any competent accountant is out the door in a matter of months, but his unqualified wife continues to run the books (and incorrectly at that). - The CTO (Adrian) is not up to date with the latest technology, talks in vague, tech buzzwords, but is unable to talk about the technical specifics of the projects. If you ask him how parts of the projects are implemented, he will have no idea about the project specifics. Though it might be unfair to call him out on not knowing the implementation details of the projects, he would not be able to describe the architecture of any project either. I'm sorry, but having managerial certificates, and other qualifications does not make you a competent tech manager, or a competent tech lead. He's just an echo chamber for Sheldon. If you ever work with him, watch your back; he will say one thing, pretending to be your friend, but behind closed doors, he will stab you in the back/trash talk you as soon as he can. - They will try to get out of paying their employees, giving a fair wage, or handing out raises as much as possible.

When DMG's peers pull the anchor and move to more favourable waters in the USA, DMG sticks to its values and commitments and stays in Canada, continuing to invest here in BC - working to expand its services and operations throughout Canada.

The public market has not recognized the hard work and resilience of DMG, as its stock price is not reflective of the value that it generates. Thus, it lacks sufficient resources to sustain its investment and expansion throughout Canada and into new markets. But that should all change in the coming months.
