DGL does a great job of allowing employees to feel appreciated. Not only are people in the company, like supervisors, good at making a point to thank people for good work and reward for the same, but the company has events to encourage positive relations between employees, like cornhole events. DGL is a company that doesn't make you feel like a number, but helps you to truly become a part of the efforts towards a positive working experience.

I started my career at DGL and I have stayed because of the friendships I've made, the professional development DGL has encouraged and supported me through, and the ability to really get out there and make a difference in the world of engineering. The company also does a great job of distinguishing and prioritizing work life balance – a day off is a day off and family will always be #1.
