Pros

None that I have experienced in 8 years.

Cons

Terrible company to work for. Only concerned with profitability and extracting each penny out of every possibility without any concern for employee well being, rewards, and motivation. Zero regard for staff retention, you are free to leave anytime they don’t care for your contributions

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects; colleagues are all kind and hard working; opportunities to travel. Good place to see and experience how big projects are managed and delivered.

Cons

Death-by-admin; lower salaries; and a myriad of systems and processes slow everything down and numb the brain. You can feel detached from the project delivery on the ground. Ultimately, DAI is a management consultancy. In turn, the team recruited on the ground does all the interesting work, DAI's role is to manage everything behind-the-scenes. If you love pure project management (contracts, budgets, etc), then this is the place for you. If you're more technically minded, and interested in analysis and research, then it's maybe a good place to grab some experience, but not somewhere for you long-term.
