Great company! - Former Employee - Manager Dot818 Employee Review

I was an intern at dot818 for almost a year. My experience was nothing but pleasant. I'd like to go back there again after I graduate.

I wish I could stay there full-time.

- Good end of year bonuses - Regular yearly raises, but you likely aren’t starting out at median pay when you get hired - You can secure a management level title pretty easily, even if you’re not actually management

- There is no formal HR dept or other employee-relations dept. If employees want to report something, they’re told to go to the legal dept/in-house counsel. The CEO/in-house counsel don’t see how this could be a conflict of interest - You’ll be expected to take on several roles without commensurate/median pay or guidance. If you perform well, you’ll be expected to take on more work/responsibilities/roles while underperforming co-workers get to coast by because of nepotism or favoritism - You’ll be expected to figure it out or learn as you go, often in departments that you weren’t hired into - 95% of the company is Armenian or Slavic, so diversity is a joke - Majority of the company has cliques and you’re looked down on if you don’t conform to the “company culture” - Office politics is necessary if you want to maintain your job, get a raise, or get promoted. While this is common for most corporate companies, you’ll become an Olympic medalist for office politics at dot818 - Majority of the company is male dominated with finance bro egos - Lots of gossip and co-workers throwing each other under the bus - The company is definitely still a startup environment even though they deny it
