Pros

Having just started at digEcor about a month ago, I can only say great things so far. The leadership is great and very supportive in all aspects. Coming from a large corporation with a top-heavy structure, digEcor certainly feels like a breath of fresh air. It was a little difficult to ramp up with the lingo and understand internal dynamics initially, but it gets clear now. Company hires according to cultural fit first and foremost. The engineering team is great in self organizing. You can’t beat having team members who are friendly to each other and are both good at and passionate about what they do.

Cons

Only infrastructure issue as a result of recent growth. The good news is that the company has solid plans to eradicate all key issues for the infrastructure very soon.

Pros

You work with friendly people and get exposed to both the airline and the movie studio industries, which are both unique and nuanced experiences you can learn a lot from.

Cons

It has been a struggle with new management to keep customers happy and maintain a positive working environment. A lot of blame is handed down and ultimatums that can't be met while feedback from the workers is often ignored or belittled by top management.

Pros

Company still has some positive reputation left. If a new owner were to purchase and offer effective leadership, the company may have a chance to survive. Many key employees have had resumes out for many months.

Cons

The company had a very promising future under the prior president who turned the company and key customers around. He kept all key customers, grew company's profitability and kept from going under, set up programs with top customers, and won many new customers after developing new technology. Many of his plans were developed by a group of employees, yet the new ownership would not listen to the ideas for change and growth despite 7 years of success! The prior president even developed the industry's first certified embedded system using portables in 90 days and under budget! Almost all of the new suggestions proved to be great and missed opportunities over time. Just research the new management and find out more yourself.

Since I acquired digEcor in 2013 it has undergone an extensive change in strategic direction. Traditionally a portable in-flight entertainment provider with a mixed history, the company today offers a full suite of cabin technology products which are certified and flying. We stand behind our legacy products but have brought new investment and new technologies to digEcor. Clearly not all have been happy with the change in strategy but the vast majority who are enjoy a happy and satisfying career with global opportunities and competitive remuneration.
