Pros

Good people to work with all, the disciplines, and The little people that do all the work are awesome!

Cons

Discrimination is big , they belittle you, that’s the principal and that’s managing principles, not all but the highest up, it’s a gentleman’s club, almost like frats house. You need to have tough skin to work there.

It's unfortunate to hear that one employee had a bad experience, especially when it's not the opinion of most. Vanderweil has diverse representation at all levels of the company. Our HR department has an open-door policy and has not received a single complaint of discrimination. If we had, it would have been taken seriously, investigated, and addressed. We wish you the best in your next endeavor.

Terrible Company

Pros

Nice people to work with

Cons

This company has serious problems. Every week the elevators are broken, bathrooms not clean. They recently switched the mens and womens rooms so there is only one stall per floor for women. They force employees to take vacation time when they close the office between xmas and new years, and also for state emergency's. Management get bonuses so agree to unreasonable deadlines, and young engineers are forced to work every weekend to get jobs out with no compensation as they are on salary. Very quick burnout. Employees are unhappy. Company hires cheap and inexperienced people instead of quality employees. Owners are cheap cheap cheap, there is no lunchroom, and very few benefits for employees. Zero loyalty. Its a terrible place to work, I am getting out.

Pros

competitive salary and interesting clients

Cons

- extremely hierarchical management structure, with very different salaries and benefits associated with each tier - monochromatic management - witnessed several women POC pushed out of engineering deign positions under racist and sexist management - no LGTBQ culture to speak of, felt unsafe to be out - toxic employees(male) tolerated with no consequences - witnessed several designers and project managers burn out after months of working 10-12 hour days, a result of inefficient planning and higher management making ridiculous promises to clients
