Pros

Office staff is kind and friendly.

Cons

The interview process was almost a full (unpaid) work day - applicants are immediately offered a poorly written welcome packet detailing the positions offered, that overtime is expected, and the company's long-term goals. Before you begin your interview you must do a Word assesment, an Excel assesment, two personality & workplace culture activities, and a one minute typing assesment. Once the actual interview process begins, you're asked a lot of vague questions that essentially add up to, "are you interested in zero work/life balance?" The marketing manager also tries to weed out applicants who have degrees or previous work experience by making it seem as if it's a waste of time if you're just willing to work yourself to the bone. I was told that the admin/office support role includes making HR calls, some accounting, and general office duties like filing. It's actually just making call after call to every single person who applies through Indeed, making sure the CEO has coffee once an hour, and cleaning water bottles and food wrappers off his desk. They say the extremely low entry-level wage is to ensure that those hired are willing to work their way up, but it's really a way to get people to work a crazy amount of overtime (which is absolutely mandatory). Asking questions or to observe others is discouraged and instead there is an outdated, overly wordy SOP binder with no truly helpful information. Digitize is very clearly a boy's club where the office staff is expected to cater to the senior employees.

Pros

Some of the employees there were nice people.

Cons

Pay is low and overtime is required. They start you off on 2 projects that are completely random and are for the sole purpose of testing you. My third project had 0 guidelines or specification and I got chewed out for not implementing random features that they came up with on the spot. Upper management is a nightmare. The CEO is an out of touch old man who I only had 2 conversations with the whole time I was there. The CEO’s top engineer is a horrible manager and communicator. He will lecture you for things that were never told to you but you “should’ve known”. He asked me to come up with a price for my project on the spot (I pulled a number out of thin air), and then started going around asking random employees if they would buy my project at the stated price. Since they all said no I was lectured about how I was disappointing clients (random employees he selected), and costing the company money (working on a project with zero specifications that I was told to do). The whole experience was a waste of time. There were many red flags but I accepted the job anyway because I was desperate for a job in a tough economy. Definitely something I'd recommend avoiding.
