I still have PTSD from my time at V2Soft. Besides meeting some really great people, ther is nothing good about V2Soft.
1) Management doesn't trust any employees to the point of open hostility. Like any company, you have a badge to enter the building, but at V2soft, you ALSO have to use your badge whenever you LEAVE, such as at lunch or going home for the day. Management says "it's for security reasons" but you learn quickly that, no, it is because if you only work 8 hours, they will reprimand you.
You read that right--8 hours a day/40 hours a week (for SALARY) employees is considered slacking. You might be a salaried employe, but you will be treated as if you punch a clock without the benefit of paid over time.
2) when I was there, one of the favorite meetings management would call was to gather all employees into the largest conference room and they would go around the room and tell everyone what a horrible job they were doing. You were not allowed to defend yourself. The goal was to personally humiliate every employee in front of their peers.
3) if you were "caught" having a conversation with a coworker that was not strictly work related, you were reprimanded about it and told to "break it up." You could be talking about the weather and it didn't matter.
4) you might get told about "bagel day" each week during the interview process, but what they won't tell you until you hire in is that a list is made with each employee's name on it and when it is your turn you have to buy bagels for the whole office. If you cant afford such an expense it doesn't matter--your name is left on the list and it is up to YOU to explain to all your coworkers why you can't afford to buy bagels.
If you are embarrassed to do that, well then that is the reason they do that--hoping you will feel too embarrassed to tell complete strangers about your financial difficulties and will get the bagels no matter what. That way they can tout it as a "perk" without saying that it actually isn't.
4) management will tell you you are stupid while offering little training. Although I had 14 years of experience in my profession, after just 3 weeks of "training" (I was given a .wav file to listen to that was poorly recorded and could not ask any questions. That was my training) I was reduced to tears by management for my "stupidity" over my lack of "V2soft" processes. When I pointed out that the only SOPs I could find (because I was trying to be proactive to teach myself the job) were more than 10 years old, she didn't care.
In all my career, I have never, ever, experienced such a horrible company. If you are considering a job at v2soft and desperately need a job, do yourself a favor and deliver pizzas, ANYTHING except work for this company. Wait til you find something else. I wish when I got my job I had checked this site before hand, it would have saved me the nightmares I still have, even months after I finally quit.
