VerticalResponse

Is this your company?

If you're smart, hard-working (and not a prima donna) then you and VR will be a solid match. - Anonymous employee VerticalResponse Employee Review

Pros

By far one of the best things about VR is the quality of the people you work with on a daily basis. So many different backgrounds and skill sets but all united in their efforts to build a great product and maintain a truly enjoyable company culture. Also, even though the company has been in business for over 10 years it has not become bogged down with too much process to prevent creative ideas from being shared, at all levels of the organization. Awesome company functions like sponsored volunteer events and amazing holiday parties. Opportunities for growth and professional development are available to hard-working folks and I can personally attest to the fact that VR has given me more opportunity to grow and chart my own success more than any other company I've ever worked at.

Cons

Some folks in the organization refuse to align themselves with the clear company vision that's been outlined and that makes communication, collaboration and forward progress challenging at times. Luckily many of these folks are finding alternative employment options which is probably for the best on both sides.

Pros

Most of the employees were nice, interesting, talented people who were a joy to work with. The neighborhood is cool and company events were generally enjoyable.

Cons

Upper management is completely clueless and did not appear to have even a basic grasp of the company's purpose / vision even after being in charge for years. It's questionable as to why a company with 100 employees needs to have C-Level, VP Level and Director level management. How many layers do you possibly need between the CEO and a department of nine people? The result of all these layers of management is meeting after meeting after meeting. I spent at least 20 hours a week in meetings (this was not abnormal for any employee) as this made management feel like they were busy doing something. If you look at this site, you'll see there are 18 positions currently available. This is not because the company is rapidly growing. It's because roughly 50% of the staff quit since the beginning of 2010 and are continually needing to be replaced (in some cases, individual positions have had to be replaced multiple times). Losing half your staff -- many of whom, like myself, worked there for years and years -- is devastating. Yet management has changed nothing.
