Pros

They pay well and their brand name is solid. If you manage to get a desk job you will manage to have a somewhat acceptable work-life balance

Cons

- Immense focus on numbers, very little regarding quality of work - Employees tend to form certain cliques with their specific nationality, pretentious teamwork that does not help and it's only for the show - Very long hours, work-life balance is non-existant, on top of that they are understaffed (and they're always going to be ) and there are frequent requests for overtime - Their ticketing system is a mess and counter-intuitive - DCO tech is really the closest thing to the blue collar working at their warehouses; Nobody cares about you. - Training is a joke.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
