Pros: The team is extremely cohesive and willing to help each other.

Cons: Very "bro" culture at the company.

Pros: Summary: If you are starting your career as an SE, DK is a good place. For anyone else, you deserve better. When I joined DK, I absolutely loved it. It had the best culture in tech with a relatively decent salary. I used to brag to my friends how great the culture was. It's still acceptable, but the future is not looking good.

Cons: Over the last couple of years, the culture has declined a lot. The new CTO loves Amazon culture (without FAANG-level pay), driving the company to insanity. Most talented engineers have left or are planning to leave soon. The people are nice and kind most of the time. But, the politics is so bad these days. If you are okay with the morality, know how to play politics, are okay with peanuts TC, and are a "yes person," DK would be a great place for you. If you do join, tread with caution. Have a paper trail for every conversation you have with managers or anything performance-related, or they will gaslight you and kick you out otherwise.

Pros: Strong managers. Great learning culture. Well-established resources and processes. Flexible work schedule/model. Well-balanced on-call schedule. Lots of engineer liberty.

Cons: Disconnect between executive management and development teams. Fast-paced work.
