Not good people or practices - Project Manager The Vertex Companies Employee Review

Pros

Benefits, PTO, and holiday schedule.

Cons

To many senior leadership roles with everyone hiding behind their titles. Many promises with zero follow through. Raises were a joke and slap to the face. Bonuses do not exist. Communication with senior leadership does exist they just send meeting invites out or dump loads of work without discussing. When trying to speak with HR they would give the run around with zero responses. They are more worried about trying to make the list of, "best places to work for", then actually taking care of employees.

The Vertex Companies Response
2y
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience - all feedback matters and we take it seriously. Your perspective matters and it seems important to respond honestly as possible. First I'd like to say that we do provide merit increases when earned, as well as annual increases and bonuses that align with the market and, importantly, employee performance. Not all employees receive what they would like but we take pride in benchmarking our benefits and pay practices. I'm concerned to hear that you didn't get any response from HR and find it unusual. As with increases, we can't always give the answers someone may want to hear, but our employees' experience and needs matter to us. Finally, we do push the annual survey so that we can hear employee feedback that is as honest as yours; we simply use the Zweig survey format because it is industry driven. Again, I appreciate your perspective and right to share and hope that my response will answer some questions. If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to reach me at edavies@vertexeng.com. Thank you.

Pros

Remote work, revised PTO and benefits recently.

Cons

The Vertex Companies talks a lot about performance-based pay, but the follow-through isn’t there. I exceeded expectations, had strong client relationships, and solid support from leadership—yet the merit increase felt like a slap in the face. When you’re told compensation is tied to performance but see little difference between average and high performers, it raises real concerns about how employees are valued. The company appears far more focused on protecting margins and pleasing shareholders than rewarding the people driving the work. It’s disappointing, because strong performance should be recognized in a meaningful way—not minimized.
