Pros

Prior to COVID-19 - Everything was steady and performing ok in a challenging market - From my experience, people’s opinions and ideas were always heard, valued and supported - Good selection of sourcing tools and advertising options - L&D was improving and really helped the more junior consultants - Office in a great location and really nice environment to work in - Internal comms was average and often just at office/brand level - Directors really valued work-life balance and family values, actually encouraging the importance of it on myself and other colleagues at times - The people I worked with made it for me. The office culture was fun and one of the best I have worked in, was conductive of creating friends and mentors. Left with many close friends that I have remained in contact with since - MD (whilst based elsewhere) always on the end of the phone/email when needed Then COVID-19 happened - Two offices closed in restructure, resulting in redundancy for many - Whilst gutted to be losing a job with a company I enjoyed working for, my dealings with HR, MD and CEO were professional, supportive and fair. Everyone needs an outlet to blame with situations like this, but my redundancy was as positive as it could have been, and I thank them for their efforts and support in a very difficult situation - Leave with fond memories, good friends and experience that I will take into my new role/company

Cons

- Opportunities to progress were there but challenging to stand out and get your work and abilities noticed when you’re not a super-biller or the loudest voice in the room. - Commission scheme wasn’t good, but the new one introduced earlier in the year was much better - Collaboration and opportunities to work with other areas of the business limited. Brands felt siloed in their own worlds

Pros

I joined on the graduate program from university and felt the environment catered to learning from scratch fantastically. There was a strong team to rely on to help growth, with ample opportunities to take on more responsibilities and grow in the roll. Lots of fun incentives, a good commission structure for delivery, and the directors in Toni and Faz seem to genuinely care for their staff and the direction they want to go in life. It really had a family feel and I could have seen myself spending my career there if I hadn’t decided to set up my own business in a separate field. Listened to feedback from delivery team and restructured commission to fairly reflect output/work, and support some of the less vocal members of the team. Very impressive when it’s easy to take the 360 consultants corner - it showed that everyone is valued and treated fairly. The entire team, Toni in particular, were great in encouraging me to pursue my dreams and I would not hesitate to return to DG. A fantastic year and a half indeed.

Cons

Nothing from me, I really enjoyed my time there and look forward to DG one day
