The DCC middle management, directors of business functions, manage with fear, bullying and poor leadership. They block the real issues and problems reaching the senior managers (who have great intensions) and at times resort to lies and mistruths, blaming and firing to avoid them finding out; I witnessed this numerous of times.
The DCC are scared to address effectively the DSP and CSPs (service partners) as result fail customers not resolving the root causes.
The DCC employment, mid management and above, is lead to appoint their contacts and friends - it is neither fare, transparent or reasonable process; often the internal development is blocked and reported as "no internal candidates" when in reality internal candidates are told "dont apply".
I would not recommend to work here unless a sycophant, you are despite or need a stop gap to another company. The DCC is one of the worst managed companies Ive worked in. 

I was a FP&A analyst at DCC for 18 months and they were 18 months wasted. In that time 2 full FP&A teams (total of 5 people including myself) have left DCC. 

Why?

1. The tone at the top is questionable. No sense of leadership. Habit of manually changing numbers 

2. JD is not truthful of actual role - you basically do whatever needs to be done 

3. Finance business partners don’t do their job and ask FP&A for everything so you’re basically doing their jobs 

What is the best part of working at the company?
A wonderful team all moving in the same direction.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Misunderstanding at end of my time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent, you are free to be creative and mgt is open to any ideas.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fun, you know you job, you know what is expected of you and you can ask for help at any point.

The company has a culture of blame running through it with endemic bullying. Just a sad environment that management seem accepting of. People don’t matter - worse if you are a contractor. Good people get frustrated and leave.

I've worked here for 4 years. The vision of the DCC is incredible but it somewhat lacks the action and capability to improve which leaves employees overworked, stressed and under immense pressure. They always like to go external for promotion potential. 

Ecco and senior leadership disconnected from reality due to lack on understanding and vision, direction changes regularly which leads to overwork and demotivation. Very good people below this level working hard and smart to deliver good products and services to customers, 

Great place to work. Good work and life balance. Fast paced and a very dynamic place of work where from the top to bottom level of the staffing structure have same level of collective drive to deliver all round success. Lovely place to work

I enjoyed working at Smart DCC as Business analyst, and had learnt through lunch and learn sessions. Great place to work, easy to approach managers and discuss progress in 1-2-1 meetings.

Learned a lot as the company was established and grew rapidly.  A challenging programme with a really diverse set of often competing stakeholders.  Technically a very interesting place to work.

I had a great experience at Smart DCC, in particular working with the team.
There are a lot of hard working people there who value working for the company as much as I did.
