Pros

Nothing really, except that you won't be suffering alone, you will be surrounded by others just like you who made the stupid mistake of joining this piece of a company. Needless to say, I'm looking to get out, away, as far as possible.

Cons

Everything. I'm putting in a review mainly to warn potential hires: - pay attention to what others are saying over here. if you do that, you own't apply or consider a role at DDN but if you don't, then - pay attention to the interactions during the interview process, especially with HR if that's how they are treating you as a potential employee, what do you think they will do once you're hooked!

Pros

Pros

As most others have mentioned, co-workers are for the most part great, and common suffering across the employee base makes people closer. High quality people get hired, unfortunately few stay.

Cons

The key negatives have already been highlighted, but should not be ignored: - owners are in it for themselves and run the place that way - favoritism rules in many departments - turnover is incredible high, and many people leave after few weeks - "old guard" in Chatsworth tends to make life hard for newer employees - great mystery for many years about company's true finances and direction
