Sinking ship. Don't waste your time.

Pros

None (despite what the cookie cutter marketing response to this will try to convince you)

Cons

Early on, the community was fantastic and everyone was supportive of each other (at least at our location), but as corporate began to aggressively wedge themselves in, things fell apart. The veterans who knew better jumped ship early on and turnover began a slow bleed. The goals and targets were very obtuse with no consideration for long-term growth. - Aggressive micromanaging - Highly stressful - Cronyism

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate learning what we don’t do well so we can improve and truly reflect our company values. As a fast-growing company, we continue to streamline our processes and implement best practices during acquisitions and structure changes. We understand and acknowledge that our team members are affected by these shifts and we take effort to minimize the negative impact they carry. We also understand that sometimes, even a well-crafted marketing response won’t carry the weight we hope it does, but we truly believe in our values, which include excellence, teamwork, and ownership, and strive to do better every day.

Pros

decent pay, but still not enough to make staying worth it.

Cons

1. Vector keeps acquiring more small software companies and poorly integrating them into the "One Vector" family. It's become a Frankenstein with who knows how many separate departments that don't know how to communicate, and a reporting structure/org chart that makes absolutely no sense. 2. Constantly understaffed & high turnover 3. Absolutely atrocious onboarding & training for new employees - ironic for a company that boasts itself as a training company. current overworked employees have to try to train new hires in their spare time with no guidance from managers, because managers don't understand the software or the job that their employees do. 4. No support for remote employees. Offices have parties and events, remote employees get a virtual yoga session once a month that we don't have time to attend even if we want to since there's too much work.

Thank you for your feedback. We are determined to learn from previous acquisitions and ensure that integrating them results in a “best of both” outcome. This applies to culture, structure, people and processes. The high turnover you refer to is partly because of the current jobs market. It is regularly described as the great reshuffle. There are several initiatives that have been launched to retain our people. The onboarding and employee readiness program has recently been expanded to a two-week in-person onboarding program with dedicated learning and development practitioners. All technology access, accounts and tools are provisioned and tested with the new employee on day 1 in a live session. The program includes job-specific tracks and breakout sessions with managers. Employee resource groups have been established to ensure that remote team members are included. These include groups focused on culture, wellness, philanthropy, and several others. A company culture is not owned by managers and executives and Vector is building a culture to support all employees to make them successful.
