Pros

DMI's window dressing is very nice. The HQ office is reminiscent of West Coast tech start-ups -- break rooms with large screen TVs, cappuccino/latte machines, and snacks. The offices are nice and there are lots of signed sports memorabilia lining the hallways. DMI parties are over the top -- at the National Building Museum, open bar including a tequila shot conveyor belt, multiple bands, and professional-quality awards ceremony. Again, this is all just window dressing. Definitely intended to impress outsiders, visitors and bankers.

Cons

On the inside, DMI is completely toxic. Executives and senior leadership do not care about DMI employees. They are focused only on growth at the expense of everything else (caring about clients, doing quality work, creating a positive culture, and treating people well). The office space and office parties as just putting lipstick on the pig. Executives back stab each other. Groups within DMI are openly hostile to each other. The blame game is alive and well. And the top leadership does absolutely nothing to stop it. If anything, they encourage the in-fighting, somehow believing that the best will rise to the top. Like another reviewer said, this is like "Office Space", except that these characters are real. The place is imploding, which is not surprising at all to those on the inside.

Pros

They have been good to me. My manager was very good, I am contracted to a state organization to a good team. This is probably the best job I've ever had. I recommend them.

Cons

Honestly, I have no complaints.

Pros

Pay on the program I worked on was good. A few pockets of good teams at corporate (finance and hr)

Cons

The culture of the company changed drastically over the past 5 years to one that I can't support. Zero support from the C-Suite and no corporate reach back. Two months of no reply to consistent emails to the C-Suite for support. Years of escalations of issues on the program were met with silence as the money was flowing in. Once it stopped, they were shocked. Rewarding only yes men or yes women instead of those sacrificing for the contract. If you gossip to the C-Suite and don't question, you'll be rewarded. Even a high level senior leader made a considerable amount of money for years but literally lied about Financials and what work his team did. How does that happen?!
