Pros

DemandEngine is well-respected within higher education. I was attracted by the company's mission and values - to help students make life changing decisions about their future through education. The work can be challenging because of the varied types of services and clients. If you are detailed-oriented and can manage projects at different stages, you will do well. It was a great place for me to start my career. I was able to work on research projects as well as digital marketing campaigns.

Cons

Some co-workers. Employees are given a lot of responsibility for their work - when everyone doesn't pull their weight on projects others have to pick up the slack taking time from their own clients. I had some problems with my laptop - older Dell, however the company purchased new iMacs right before I left.

Pros

There’s plenty to learn for anyone who’s willing to ask questions, put in the work, and take on the extra responsibility. Whatever you lose in work/life balance, you more than gain in experience and potential for career advancement. I know from personal experience what time at DE can do for your career.

Cons

Deadlines come up fast at DE. A lot of times, they would change at the last minute or there would be new changes you’d have to incorporate in the same amount of time.

Pros

NOTHING NICE TO SAY - except their appearance to be kind and professional in the beginning only to rip you to shreds soon after on-boarding.

Cons

I have to agree with everything about the other honest and authentic reviewers. Awful over-pressured atmosphere. I am almost certain the "positive" reviews on here are fake. Owner is uber micro-manager and absolutely enthralled by power and ego. Unrealistic expectations and punish you for not knowing how to do something and speak to you in very condescending tones. Extremely unprofessional in putting others employees down. I was appalled. It was like a boot camp. Even the most desperate of souls would not last here. Save yourself the time. You will hate it. They have extremely high turnover for a reason. I have never experienced a job this miserable in my entire life. They tell you its okay to seldom check non business related web pages in the beginning but its actually not. The owner sits and monitors your every move and is waiting on the opportunity to pounce in a verbal attack and possible termination the second you peel your eyes away from your assignment. You literally have to work each second of the day. It is like prison. I also had a strong suspicion that they tapped the rooms to listen in on employee conversation. You have NO privacy.
