Without a doubt, this is the worst place I've ever worked.

Pros

A majority of my colleagues are great people trying to do the right thing.

Cons

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a best place to work. Vestmark was founded by fraternity brothers and the company is run like one. You are promoted based on who you know and how long you've been here. This company has a serious problem with diversity - the company is disproportionally white and male (just look at the executives on their own website). We have executives and managers who hire predominantly white males and have created an environment that can be very uncomfortable. There are people who have been here "forever" who are allowed to behave any way they want with zero consequences.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We conduct extensive evaluation of our total rewards offerings and feel we do our best to balance them in a competitive way. However, we will continue to evaluate what programs can be improved upon to attract and retain our employees. As well, we try to embrace change and are making efforts to create a flexible and forward-thinking environment. As part of that effort, we conduct regular internal employee surveys to understand and respond to specific areas of concern.

Pros

I've worked at Vestmark for over 10 years and believe this is a great place to work. I've watched upper management steer the product vision to meet market shifts and demands and they have been right on target. The company has established itself as a leader in a space that is hard to break through. The leadership in Engineering is great. As a whole, management is fair, supportive and proactive with their direct reports. Work/life balance is very good here. We don't expect the 'hero' mentality and if someone puts in extra hours at night or on the weekends, it's acknowledged and reciprocated. The company tries to foster a fun work environment and has several events throughout the year. For example, food/drinks for Red Sox and Patriots season openers, paint/game nights, weekly summer outdoor events, company-wide summer and winter holiday parties, and numerous other events. Salaries at Vestmark are competitive. We have great health insurance (low premiums), 401k matching, all market holidays off plus 20 PTO days and equity.

Cons

The main area that needs improvement is cross-team communication and collaboration. There are lots of people in the company who have been here 10+ years and it can sometimes be difficult to let go of the ways of the past and make the bigger changes that will support the growth and scaling of the company.
