Digital Foundry Reviews

The pay is significantly below the average for the area. They also expect everyone to work overtime (and be proud of it), to the point where whole teams are often burned out. This is largely due to them claiming to be a hardcore agile shop, but the "agile" that goes on really isn't, and there are only a handful of people there that are even interested in understanding what I mean by this statement. Even though the software they write is pretty good, their development processes are fairly out of date, and senior management isn't interested in actually understanding or improving them. It often seems that the message that comes down from above is "do it better" but you don't get the support to do it.

Low pay compared to industry averages, and they try to make up for it with things like the Hawaii trip, which would actually be a really cool extra incentive on top of an already good salary. But with a lower salary, just feels like employee well-being isn't that important. All of the projects are run without enough people and even less time, which causes the engineers working on the projects to be stressed all the time, trying to make up for never having been given enough time in the first place. Digital Foundry thinks it's breading an environment of personal accountability, by expecting employees to put in the extra time to get everything done on the unreasonable timeline. However, if an employee has to take a little bit longer lunch to get some errands done, they have to log the time off, even if they would probably be staying the extra hour later that week.
