Great learning opportunity in a growing company and a fun environment.
Pros
I have really enjoyed my time here. I was brought in when Verisys was making some big process and personnel changes and have been able to be a part of re-shaping and improving this company. The work environment has been drastically improving and from what I understand it was pretty fun and laid back before I was brought on. I have also been impressed with the benefits packages and time off offered. Verisys is built on family values and the 8-5 Monday - Friday work week. Very rarely have I, or anyone else I work with, been asked to work overtime to finish a project. Also, instead of accumulating sick/vacation/PTO time off separately, everything is accumulated at the same time which adds up to 1 day off per paycheck plus 10 paid holidays a year! I have also been satisfied with the benefit packages they have to offer employees. Verisys is a very flat company management-wise and all management, including the owners, encourage employees to come to them with ideas for the company or any concerns any employee may have. As Verisys continues to grow there are many opportunities to climb the company ladder or get experience in multiple areas of the company. Whenever a new position opens up Verisys looks for internal candidates before looking outside. This gives each employee the chance to move to different positions and gain experience while providing increasing value to the company as an employee. Last but not least Verisys ushers in each month with a bagel morning and celebrates birthdays each month with a pizza party for lunch. This is a great time to socialize with co-workers and friends. There are also other lunch/holiday activities that Verisys sponsors for employees.
Cons
There is not really a process in place for Verisys to release products to outside customers. This has created a lot of chaos in how Verisys deals with customers and how employees develop and release potential products to the outside world. The process is slowly being felt out and cemented down but in the mean time it creates a lot of stress that could otherwise be avoided.
