Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

June 3, 2018
Pros: Awesome pay and benefits. Strong colleagues who are driven and results-oriented, but in a laid-back manner (typically).
Over my time, I have seen some great engineers leave DRW. Though the present talent, and the draw for skilled and pragmatic developers to join us, remains exceptionally strong.
I learn a ton from my colleagues. Open communication across teams and the software culture is making a comeback.
I'm excited about our potential and wouldn't consider a change for the foreseeable future.
Cons: Nothing standing out. Nice to have more sponsored restaurant/bar/etc. outings for internal teams.
