BEWARE - TOXIC

Pros

Cool office space, constant supply of snacks and soda, regularly bought company lunches and cool coworkers.

Cons

Digital Strike's environment and leadership nearly ruined my taste for marketing. While I was there half the staff was fired because they didn't measure up to Chris' unrealistic expectations. - You needed to be perfect, but he wouldn't tell you what his version of perfection was. - You needed to be proactive, but ask him before starting anything to make sure it was worth his time. - Own your clients, but wouldn't let you handle yourself in meetings without supervision. - He wanted to do discuss your weaknesses but would throw it in your face at a later date. He is a manipulator and is a very inappropriate person. He openly talked about other employee's shortcomings behind their back and openly talked about frustrations with clients in the way of name-calling and slander. He would also refer to a few of the women in the office as honey or sweetie, which was inappropriate and unprofessional. His way of motivation is to tear you down to believe you know nothing and are nothing, insult your intelligence, make you question your sanity all so he could build you back up in his image. He values your different perspective when you are hired, but doesn't want you to act on it when you are employed. Typically, when something bad happens at a company with HR, a person could safely talk to HR without fear of punishment. This was nonexistent at DS. It was a toxic environment through and through.

Pros

Cool office, some great coworkers

Cons

This is a toxic environment. Very few benefits. I've worked for some terrible places before, but this one takes the cake -- the owner does not listen to his employees or take in new ideas. When they are experts on a topic that he has little experience in, he does not listen to them. I've watched as he's created office conflict by telling employees how good or bad another team member is. It's a high-stress environment, and while it pays well, no amount of money is worth it.

Pros

Great office space, free health insurance, free beverages in the fridge, pretty generous PTO

Cons

Everything else. The CEO, Chris Westmeyer, doesn't know how to manage anything effectively. He thinks motivating his employees means making them fear their job security instead of mentoring them or having their back. He says Digital Strike is the greatest place to work, but it's only good if you don't question him on anything--even if it's something he hired you for and he has said explicitly that he knows nothing about. He will fire you at a moment's notice without even talking to you about it. You'll just find out by being locked out of your Gmail and Slack. In the time I was there, 7 longtime employees left in 4 months. On a team of 12, that's a really big deal. Office hours are from 9-5, but if you aren't there at 8 and you don't leave until well after 5, Chris Westmeyer will think you don't work hard enough. There is no concept of HR. There is no one you can talk to without it getting back to Westmeyer. There is always the possibility of retaliation. No one's job is safe there.
