Pros

A few good people left at the company and good amount of vacation

Cons

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, which is a shame. It used to be a great company. Over the past 5 plus years, this has become an extremely toxic work environment from the top down. When I'm sick to come to work, that's a reflection on the company. Dice has seen major turn over in executive management over the last 5+ years, which also is very telling about the company. Plus Dice has promoted a number of unqualified employees into mid-management positions. It is an environment where employees are afraid to speak the truth or they will lose their job. You are encouraged not to have an opinion or to try to make the company better (be quiet and keep to yourself). They want "yes men" only. They have recently started getting rid of people with no notice about every other month, so everyone is on pins and needles that they will be next. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a sales rep say that "I probably said too much. I'm probably going to get fired." They encourage employees not to care; to do what they are told and not give any push back or voice their concerns (even when they have suggestions or solutions to the concerns). They will micro-manage you and have recently added more oversight to do so. This is an environment where they make you feel worse about yourself instead of better. HR is aware of many of the issues, however at this point employees are just trying to fly under the radar and are afraid of bringing issues forward for fear of retribution. The sales reps and sales managers are held to different level of accountability. When you can't find a vp level/ manager, there is a good chance they will be in the break room playing foosball, especially in the last 3-4 hours of the day- everyday. There are managers in the office who have coolers of beer/alcohol at their desk. It started as an incentive to have a beer at the end of the month in the last hour of the day. It has snow balled into some individuals drinking longer hours in a day and for multiple days throughout the week. Employees in the main office of Urbandale are being replaced by employees in remote locations and then encouraged by management to write good glassdoor reviews. The good reviews recently have been written by new employees who at the time of review haven't even had time to experience the company culture and issues. If you are one of the "good old boys" , then you can find yourself with a good sales territory, mobility in the company and reasonable sales goals if you are not in this group, then you can and probably will face a poor sales territory with unreachable sales goals, plus find yourself labeled and black balled by these 'good old boys' who are mostly in management.

Pros

- It's a good business and helps put people to work. - Good people work there.

Cons

- CEO has not delivered value and has clearly been wayyyy overpaid. When wil he be held to account. - Board is clearly not effective. - Company should not be publicly traded (wastes money, time and resources) - So many good people in Des Moines have lost their jobs, as a result of executives, who never sit in Des Moines, choosing to overpay for resources in Denver, San Jose, or New York. - This company could be run easily from Des Moines cheaply and effectively. "Innovation" from Denver (or San Jose) was just a waste of money, resulting in many good people in Des Moines losing their jobs. All to pursue the ever elusive crap-shoot of "Revenue Growth".

Pros

- Decent benefits - a few good people remain - technically the lights are still on and they can cover payroll - Colorado is nice

Cons

- Most of the talent has left, leaving an endless string of B-players and micromanagers as well as those that are either too lazy to find something better or not paying attention. - The product isn't competitive and customers are aware of that - Dice isn't even part of the conversation for most modern techn recruiters. - DHI (the parent company) attempted to sell itself when the stock was at $5 a share and no one was interested.. now the company is around $2 a share with a market value of less that $100M. All it takes is a brief look into their balance sheet and financial performance to see why - revenue has been on a steady decline for years. - Politics, uncertainty and fear dominate - as you'd expect given the circumstances. - Sales targets are unrealistic at all levels - There's no real vision or leadership to speak of and the management that is there is just riding what's left of it into the sunset. Many of them are just letting Dice fund their global travel schedules.
