DAI Reviews

Career progression - was mind-numbingly slow before and now after the recent re-structure is non-existent. Career progression 2 - under the new structure specialising in an area is very difficult. You will be expected to work on different bids in different areas - creating jack of all trades master of none workforce. Pay - DAI are notorious for expecting you to work very hard for next to no money. You can expect to be paid 15-20% more at a competitor for the same job. The management - completely out of touch with employees. They are very stuck in their ways, do not listen to advice/input (even when they ask for it), communicate terribly with the teams and are unwilling to change.

UK management is the old school management style from the 80's and as long as you are there from 9-5 then they think you are doing a good job. Wrong industry for this imo Innovation and thinking for yourself are not encouraged. Wages are below par for the industry. Office location is outside London and transport link is not great, breaks down or delayed at least twice a week so if you want to live in London then not ideal. Used to be more flexible with working hours etc but that is now not encouraged. The favourites that have been there for 10+ years are looked after even though they do very little.
