Vanguard Software Developer reviews

Too much dependencies in other group to complete your work(5 mins work take 3 to 4 days by other group, frustrating to sit idle for 3 days), too much processes and waste of time, no work from home policy, no laptops, expected to be in office during snow or take PTO. Lots of politics, people sitting for many years won't let you move up. Very low salary compared to other financial firm. If you love to learn and get exposure, this is not the company for you. Lots of shows , presentation and meetings and time waste...

No opportunities for growth, the system is clogged at all levels. When people quit, management is content replacing them with contractors. Special 'rules' exist in the Charlotte IT department above and beyond corporate policies. Local senior management is solely focused on their own progress and is very opaque about career progression. I guess because of the Job scenario elsewhere, management takes employees for granted. You are not measured by what you produce in results, but in how many hours you work in a week - better work at least 45 hours a week on an average if you desire any bonus at all.
