Pros
- Friendly. DIT is a family. Everyone at DIT is very friendly and easy to work with. You will engage with all levels at DIT. Many employees have been there a long time. - Flexible. DIT has a great work-life balance. They let people work from home or work flex time. I worked the normal 40 hours. If you need to work overtime one week, you can balance out your hours in the pay-period. In addition, I was able to get PTO approved very easily. It is a great company if you have a family. Some people even worked in Fredericksburg, so they allowed them to work from home some days. - Size. DIT is a small, but rapidly growing company. You can learn a lot if you take advantage. The management will work with you if you want to change paths or take on new learning opportunities. - Learning. DIT will pay for certifications and trainings that you feel are as asset to your career and the company. You will also be exposed to a lot at DIT from proposals to all phases of the SDLC. - Management. All of the management has been with the company a long time. They are always willing to listen to new ideas. They are accessible if you need to talk, and you will see them around the office. - Projects. You can work on multiple projects on a time or just one. It depends. Most of the work is in the office. You may need to attend client meetings occasionally depending on your job role. I found most of the work was not client-facing. - Location. Great location if you work out of the Arlington office - right by the Courthouse metro! If you do drive, you will have to pay for parking in the garage. However, there are some secret spots in neighborhoods, but you have to walk a bit.
Cons
DIT is a sink or swim atmosphere sometimes. If you are a quick learner, you will do just fine. You should be able to handle little direction at times. Many teams come together for team meetings/scrums, but most of the work is independent. It all depends on your Job Role. Size. DIT is still a growing company. Like any small business, they are still working things out. If you have suggestions, definitely let management know.
