Pros

The ability to progress at your own pace without much involvement or direction from management. No strict dress code unless meeting customers. Higher than average salaries.

Cons

Zero to little direction or communication from the 5 head honchos in management. Often there is something sprung on you on the spot with no real opportunity to work through a well planned solution. Very short term focused.

Pros

No pros. Company looks good from outside but from inside it is an organisation in complete disarray. Failing business, disgruntled employees, very poor management …

Cons

Company is in bad financial shape. Operating at a loss for years now (public record) however recent investments in cloud are a massive failure and bankruptcy is imminent. Business has dried up and many empty seats with Perth centre almost empty. MD is generally aggressive and hostile, promotes blame culture and personally ensures people are fired on a monthly basis without cause or warning. When he isn’t intimidating staff, he is lying and mis-selling technology. He is tyrannical and is honestly considered by many inside the company as narcissistic, spiteful, and devoid of any morals. The culture inside the company is nothing like what they would have you believe; it is not laid back and friendly at all. Expect to work hard 7 days, nights and weekends from home in a high stress environment for low pay. Once you start working here, you’ll realise that many of the promised benefits will never be delivered – extremely unprofessional. There is no training or communication, and no career progression. Emails are monitored and don’t dare complain because your every move is being watched. They intimidate you to thinking you’ll be the next one to be fired unless you work harder. HR are just as terrified and just try to keep their jobs, cannot do anything to protect the employees.

Pros

DUG has seen great amount of growth due to the hard work of its people. All the huge profits are put back into the business.

Cons

DUG says it appreciates talent but does nothing to keep talented people. I've been with DUG for almost 5 years and like most others have had no opportunity to grow. DUG's remuneration package is by far the WORST in the industry. Bosses support bullying and intimidating behavior. Most people have many serious issues with the management and the support team. Co-workers are disgruntled and unhappy. It is a sink or swim culture with little to no mentoring, coaching, or training. Worst CEO ever.
