Decision Resources Group Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

There is so much vision in this company with lots of focus on growth. It's a very exciting time to be with the company as it structure itself for growth. You can see how the leadership team is looking to improve the organization and develop employees. There is a lot of flexibility as well, which helps with maintaining a work-life balance.

Cons

There is a lot of change in the organization and a lot of questions. There are a lot more offices around the world and a lot more interactions with colleagues we've never worked with before. It definitely adds to the confusion, but is still exciting times! Trust in the new leadership team and trust in the employees will be crucial over the next few years in order for the growth to occur.

Pros

Interesting work, smart colleagues, diverse skill development

Cons

Low pay, poor work life balance

Pros

Collaborative and supportive environment, training opportunities

Cons

poor work life balance, low pay

Pros

I've been with DRG for a long time and used to love it. Most of the people are wonderful but many of the greats have left, either on their own terms or because the new executives wanted their own people. But those who remain and even the new hires are generally good people. The work life balance is great too, and depending on where you are located, the benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

As many others have mentioned, the compensation stinks compared to others companies in the same or different industries. Bonus % for non-execs range from 5%-10%, and you're lucky to get the full bonus (it's only happened once or twice in the last 10 years or so!). The company seems to look now upon employees more as a cost vs. as those providing the actual work and value, and so many jobs are moving to India. I wouldn't be surprised if they move most jobs there, especially Analysts, IT, and data analysts, as it's much cheaper there than in the US. It seems like it's very easy for the company to let go of people as one moment you'll see someone in the hallway, and next moment you hear rumours that they're gone. Someone even once compared DRG's culture to being like the Hunger Games! Even with the new exec team there's already been people leaving, and they've been with the company around or less than a year!

Pros

This is interesting and stimulating work, in a generally younger environment, at a company that is pushing hard for growth. There are no shortages of opportunities to be had if one is interested. The company is pushing its traditional boundaries. Mgmt also shows signs that it's interested in its employees enjoying its work and culture, whether or not that promise is always realized.

Cons

In general, there's more than enough work to go around -- meaning that work/life balance isn't ideal. That comes in peaks and valleys. Compensation varies around the globe, and some locations could stand an increase. There are also some classic corporate issues -- occasionally slow to pull the trigger on big moves, slightly increasing bureaucracy. That said, nothing that's out of the ordinary.

Pros

Comparing myself to peers in my graduating class at university, the opportunities I've been afforded at DRG early in my career have been much more extensive and interesting. Everyone I've worked with at the company has clearly had good intentions and cares about you as a human being. While there have been some bad attitudes, they generally move on quickly. There is a lot of flexibility around work-life balance. Some weeks, it seems as though there's an endless influx of work, but other weeks you're able to take time off and focus on other things that matter in your life. Managers are always understanding in my experience. This has especially been evident through the COVID-19 crisis, as the organization very rapidly switched into remote work mode and has been incredibly flexible while still meeting its goals. It's times like these that I'm incredibly grateful for the team I work with and the organization I work for. Despite some of the concerns I see here on Glassdoor, it's false that all jobs are moving to India. While many positions have indeed moved, many have also stayed in North America despite turnover at those positions, and management is dedicated to keeping that the case, since a diverse workforce (located in many global offices) is recognized as the best way for us to serve our clients. It also helps that many of our colleagues in India are great people, and it's an absolute pleasure to get to work with them. Bottom line is this: if you work hard, have a positive attitude, and deliver good results, you'll find a long-term place in this organization, or make strong connections for your career if you decide to move on.

Cons

One drawback of many opportunities being afforded to early-career employees is that there tends to be less diverse experience in the middle (and even upper) levels of management. While growing managers from within can help in a lot of ways, the lack of diversity of experience probably contributes to some of the issues the organization has. Change can seem like it is slow, and can sometimes feel like it lacks conviction. As a result, execution is hit-and-miss for big projects. On the other hand, execution on smaller projects and client deliverables is typically strong. In the past, compensation for some positions seemed like it was below market rates for the city we work in, although it has gotten more competitive in recent years. Tech at this organization is a bit behind where it should be.

Pros

Layoffs, not a good work-life balance in some divisions, pay could be more competitive
