Pros
- Colleagues were amazing to work with and passionate about what they did. - Decent benefits. - There was lots of opportunities to carve your own mark and take on exciting projects.
Cons
- Pay is below market, though they do a whole song-and-dance about the quality of salary. Getting a promotion involves PowerPoint presentations, and panel discussions with people who have no idea what you actually do. - Management has nothing in their 12 month goal beyond “being profitable”. If that means cutting out huge swaths of their workforce to do it, they will. Never mind that VTS has expanded rapidly since 2019 and the rollercoaster ride of priorities has meant that needed roles are now vacant. Individuals are doing 3x the work and shuffled to teams where they are expected to pick up even more slack. - CEO’s reason for telling employees to return to the office? “Because I f***ing said so” - For all of their talk of diversity and inclusiveness, VTS had no problem laying off a large amount of women and POC in 2023. It is entirely lip service. They pushed for more diversity and inclusion only when it suited them.
