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: Impact of your work Opportunities to advance your career Bias for action Culture Perks Expertise of coworkers Compensation

Cons: Fast-paced, Risk of failure, Revenue focus

Pros: The office is great, and they care a lot about the employees. They are always looking for ways to make the office space better. Flexible about vacation time, working from home, and hours in the office (a lot of people come in around 10-11 instead of the traditional 9-5). Despite the relaxed office environment, everyone works hard and gets stuff done.

Cons: None I can think of
