DCG Communications Reviews

CEO is completely out of touch with company. Besides living in another state and visiting "the office" sporadically, he barely knows employees names and has no clue what is going on day-to-day. Good luck if you have to work with him. Profit over people here, which is fine from a CEO, but when he touts "the company is a family," it's hypocritical. "Senior" leadership is laughable - HR does not respond to questions, concerns and most upsetting, any serious offenses. Additionally, senior leadership and HR was always looking to gossip and asking questions about other staffers, which is beyond uncomfortable. The senior leadership team also makes up stories from one day to the next. For instance, they told staff there did not have a "Senior Account Director" position, but then promoted someone to that position a week or two later. If you are promised a bonus or raise or title promotion, good luck actually getting your money. Frequently, the promise is "wait until your six month review," and then it's "wait until your year review." Sometimes you get the title promotion, but very often that comes without money. If you bring this up with any senior leader or your supervisor, they talk in circles and you never get a straight answer. Working from home is nice, until you realize you are supposed to be responsive 24/7. Vacation, bereavement, maternity leave, you better be checking your email. Long-term stability is non-existent. Nobody knows the 3 or 5 year plan. And don't bother asking, you won't get a straight answer.

Company culture is extremely toxic and difficult to deal with. There are clear favorites by upper management, and senior employees and VPs get away with bullying and intimidation tactics. My mental health suffered greatly being at DCG. The HR department does not handle complaints in a professional and confidential manner, and cannot be trusted. So there is no one within upper management to turn to if you find yourself targeted by a manager/senior staffer and being treated unfairly. Employees are expected to work overtime and far beyond their pay grade for nothing in return. Their contracts are extremely lucrative, but almost all money goes to the CEO’s private plane and house in Dubai. They cut back on all real estate costs so beyond insurance there are very few fixed costs, and to entice employees they gave started doing small giveaway “challenges” in lieu of actually increasing salary to substantial levels. Many people I know are miserable here and looking to get out, and the future of several large contracts are looking very iffy due to the high staff turnover and client dissatisfaction. Listen to the bad reviews on here... No one is incentivizing the bad reviews, and that can't be said about all the 5 star decoys.
