Pros

Valtech used to have a lot of really bright technical people. They used to foster an agile environment that was ideal for easily collaborating as a team, and educating junior team members about new technologies. They also had competitive salaries, and good perks (video games in break room, free snacks and coffee, 3 weeks of vacation to start out).

Cons

Senior management has completely decimated the US organization. The business strategy is nebulous and changes from year to year (Doom Loop). Management has always struggled to properly staff projects due to an unpredictable sales pipeline. This has often resulted in projects being understaffed, or some resources being under-utilized/benched for too long. Also, right now Valtech has been laying off all resources they can't staff to cut costs. Also, all bonuses have been indefinitely suspended, and quarterly reviews have been discontinued.

Pros

Great work environment. Real commitment to diversity that goes beyond the surface level.

Cons

Thin spread of employees that results in a lot of work on each contributor individually.

Pros

Great well known clients & interesting projects.

Cons

There are no growth opportunities; people managers don't know how to lead; there are layoffs every 2 months for the past 18 months; there is no training (employees are told to learn on their own time / weekends) because if they are not >50% chargeable, they are on the RIF list. The company grew through acquisitions but never integrated or unified the various companies. There are no standard processes, everything is ad hoc. There were no raises this year and no bonuses either of the last 2 years.
