Terribly Micro-Managed Ruthless Company

Pros

Long term contract at client site work and paycheck provided for a steady competitive income

Cons

No Pay Raises, Fails to consistently match 401K, EXCESSIVE Turnover of executive staff does not enable relationship building, continuity or process improvement. Performance evaluations are a joke, completely meaningless. People are not valued, their ability to generate revenue is the only thing that is valued. No room for growth in this company unless you are willing to sell your soul. If you speak your mind or make suggestions for improvement, you get black balled. If you are billable, you will maintain your job because you are revenue generating however, you will be disinvited to vital corporate meetings. If you are not billable...sayonara my friend you will be fired (for having a differing opinion). If you put in 70-80 hours a week you are considered a top-notch employee. If you prefer a balanced life...seek employment elsewhere...this is not a company that you will succeed in if you want to spend time with your family and friends.

Pros

Interesting, fairly autonomous work, opinions are valued

Cons

1.Never, ever, ever a pay raise. Whatever you negotiate when you start is where you are stuck forever. Not even COLA raises 2. Senior management turns over faster than subcontract staff. 3. CEO is a meglomaniac. The entire world exists to server her Of note: Hired a social networking specialist who's job it is to post FAKE reviews, like many of the ones about VIP on this site. Don't trust any of the 5 star reviews.

Pros

My experience at VIP let me see the workings of a company that worked hard to reward and keep top performers and offer a career path through continued growth. The focus is often on growth because that is where the opportunities for employees are created. We all want to see a raise every year, but it is new clients and new projects at the existing ones that make that happen. VIP did a great job creating partnerships with other companies that created big opportunities for new and existing employees. While I was there the company also invested heavily in sales, marketing and proposal writing to spur growth. - Salaries, benefits and HR policies are competitive to other IT consulting firms - The company's size means that senior management knows about every project so everyone can get attention when they need it. - Continued focus on growth creates new opportunities for staff - Very high client loyalty and long term projects - Consistent engagement to keep field employees up to date on the company's status - Strong methodologies and adoption of industry standards for project management and in other technical areas. - Consistent investments in growing the company through marketing, sales and partnerships with industry leaders. - Meridian LMS is a terrific product that helps introduce new clients to VIP as well. - Recent roll out of learning management internally to improve employee engagement and offer training that will help advance careers.

Cons

None that don't exist in other similar firms. I've seen complaints that not enough bonus money is paid and that raises aren't consistent enough - but I think those are largely unfair. - VIP has many long term contracts with fixed rates and staff must understand that staying on static projects with no growth or new work don't provide much opportunity for advancement. VIP works to help staff grow accounts to create more opportunity. - Bonuses are based on company performance, and less on personal performance. This is standard for IT firms like VIP. At a prior job I once didn't get a bonus because someone on a project 500 miles away left a laptop in a bar with hundreds of thousands of client SSNs on it. It felt like I was getting ripped off because my project was great, but that mistake cost the company millions to make right and there just wasn't much profit to share. - Short bench time is very standard now. Like anywhere, consultants have a responsibility to work with their managers to understand their position's risks and growth opportunities and not just wait for the company get them new assignments.
