DBD Media Response
9yThank you for your review. We take your feedback very seriously, and I'm sorry you had a negative experience working at DBD. Although we try we clearly don't get it right all of the time. We have always tried to offer a fun, collaborative environment, one where people are given autonomy and opportunities to develop their careers - it seems that in your case we got this wrong and we'll try to take your comments on board. We do allow headphones now, although also aim to offer an environment where people can chat to each other easily and collaborate - we therefore try to appreciate the balance that's needed at different times of the day, and people's personal working preferences. In terms of the environment for women, this was something that we found surprising, and something we take incredibly seriously. We asked our HR consultant to talk to all current female staff - over half the company, and it's clear that this is not currently an issue, so we're really sorry that you felt this way when you worked here. In fact, we've always had a good female / male ratio in the business, and over half our management team is female, and we'll try to make sure we stay that way. We also try really hard to be honest, transparent and ethical with our clients - this has always been part of our core values, and we would never promise to something we can't do for our clients. I'd love the opportunity to hear more about your concerns so that we can put these things right - so if you'd like to contact me, or our HR consultant to discuss this, please let me know.
