At DESIS, you'll be working with some of the brightest minds in a collegial, casual environment in which corporate hierarchies are kept to a minimum. The dress code is strictly "wear what makes you comfortable" (you won't see suits and ties), our vacation policy is generous, and many positions don't have fixed hours. New hires often enjoy surprising amounts of responsibility, and we encourage collaboration, personal mentorship with senior team members, and the open exploration of ideas. As a result, many employees feel that the firm combines some of the most attractive features of academia with considerably greater rewards.
There are abundant opportunities for rapid professional growth. Career advancement is performance driven and employees are given as much responsibility as they can handle. Career paths are governed primarily by the evolution of an employee's interests and abilities. It's not uncommon for people to move between departments if there's a fit for both the firm and the individual.
