Pros

Laughing and having this much fun around people I work with makes such a big difference. The people here are incredibly gifted. I’ve worked with go-to people at some of the best companies in the country (Google, Netflix, Facebook), but the people at DK are dedicated and the innovation of our technology keeps the people happy. Love the decision I made, as I strongly believe this is a premier employer for all men and women in Boston.

Cons

We’re defining an industry, so employee expectations are high. However, that was made clear early in conversations before I joined.

If you’re looking to make a difference like Uber, Airbnb, or Netflix did early on, look no further for a fun grind. If you want a 9-to-5, look somewhere else.

Advice to Management

Continue to keep employees informed—there’s no such thing as too much company information when you move fast! Thank you!
