Great Place to Work

Pros

If you are a motivated, independently-driven person, VT can offer an environment where you make most of the day-to-day calls on what you do, how you do it, and when you do it. The environment is far more about what you get done, than the micromanagement of how you get it done. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit are never at a shortage of interesting things to work on. The pay is competitive with much of industry, and the schedule flexibility is very nice.

Cons

Pay raises are infrequent, and generally small. (This is a state government job.) Room for long-term upward growth can be limited if you don't hold advanced degrees.
