Pros

Understanding managers and passionate co workers. No meetings that should be emails. Good benefits and good vibes

Cons

Company is poised to grow, but it's unsure what that means for the future. It in some ways still feels like a great small company, but in some others is starting to feel larger

Pros

- Super nice office for those who work at HQ (free drinks/coffee, nice PCs, 34" monitors) - Benefits are pretty good (especially if you're young without a family) - Impactful and meaningful work (most of the time) - A great place to grow your breadth of experience as a junior engineer* * You need to be self motivated and a go getter to thrive and grow here. There is _a lot_ to be desired in the form of mentorship. That being said, you are given a lot of room and encouraged to try things and fail without fear of serious repercussions (an important trait in growing as SE in my opinion)

Cons

- Working off site can range from between okay to plain terrible depending on the space/prime company - The benefits are really skewed towards young people without families and leave a lot to be desired (esp. parental leave) - There is a distinct lack of support for junior software engineers who often get thrown on IRAD projects and left to their own devices - Career advancement is opaque and not well defined - Senior leadership has favorites and that circle can be hard to break into if you're not extroverted and not involved in work outside your contract or on site at HQ. - Pay is below average for mid level engineers and varies wildly amongst even people at the same labor categories/job level - No opportunities for working from home - Maintaining a security clearance can be a (stressful) pain

Visionist, Inc. Response

Feedback is always accepted and very much appreciated. We have listened to our employees and recently completed a corporate restructure. Steady growth is exciting and we embrace it, however, growth creates a need for structure. We have recognized this and worked to adapt. We now have first line managers with no more than 5 direct reports. We have selected specialists in their field of technology to serve as mentors or “go to” resources for engineers seeking assistance and information. Visionist will continue to evolve our structure as we continue to grow and expand. Thank you again for your insightful feedback, we are always willing and excited to make changes based on employee feedback as it perpetuates our collaborative work culture.
