Don't Chance It - Anonymous employee Dapicon Employee Review

It's a small team so you get to contribute a lot and work on diverse projects.

The negative reviews here were written by a group of toxic employees who all left over a year ago. Ever since this has been a great place to work and a great team.

The Engineering Team (Developers / QA / PM) is great!! They are smart, creative, and collaborative. Unfortunately, they have also lost about half the team over the last couple of months.

Dapicon is the most toxic place I have ever worked. There was a constant battle between senior leadership and the CEO. Managers and Directors were not trusted to do their jobs...even though they were extremely competent. The CEO has a history of undermining, threatening, and lying to his employees and does not treat them with respect. He has blatantly engaged in discrimination based on gender, age, weight, race, and other factors. The parent company is also untrustworthy and does not respect the boundaries that should exist to allow the team to focus on their deliverables. Priorities and projects are constantly changing, and the employees are often required to switch between working on Dapicon projects and working on the parent company's projects. The company lacks direction as a whole and has no clear vision of the product they are building. On top of all of this, until recently, employees were also required to work in the office M-F from 8-5. They were not allowed to work from home...no matter what. They are now allowed to work from home on specific days, but there are still heavy guidelines in place. The CEO watches everyone come and go and keeps notes of who comes in late or leaves early (even by a few minutes). If you get too many ticks, you will be at risk of being targeted for firing or other retaliation. There are very strict rules around PTO and leaving for appointments, and the team is generally treated with mistrust and suspicion when it comes to managing their time.
