Pros

Nice working environment and team atmosphere

Cons

Vestmark is stumbled by its huge legacy code base that supports the main product, which is very hard to maintain, not mention refactoring or applying new technologies. And due to lack of market vision, the new products/services are not widely accepted at all. The 20-years-old tech stack and poor salary does not sound very attractive to talents, I mean, at all.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that we need to continuously work to be market competitive in compensation and current in our technology. We have actively worked to move some areas of our technical stack forward. It is important to remember that our 15-year-old platform is very stable and successful and supports $1.6 trillion AUM. We take shepherding of that platform very seriously. Also, we have technology chapters that are focused on identifying areas for technological improvement, pattern refactoring, etc. In terms of salary and compensation, we strive to offer a competitive total rewards compensation package, including salary, benefits, employee engagement and compelling company values, that is competitive with our peers, and we continously evaluate what we offer our employees against industry standards and other peer software companies. We have and will continue to prioritize providing compelling total rewards compensation packages to our employees and developing new ways to reward our employees for their contributions.

Pros

Flexible schedule, introduction-friendly. Everyone is very kind.

Cons

Most people work from home; therefore, the in-person experience is almost non-existent.
