Enjoyed my teamates/co-workers; suffered the management, politics, toxicity, lack of direction and so much more. - Software Engineer Vertiv Employee Review

Pros

The only pro that I could truthfully think of is just not being unemployed! The company has gotten to a point in which that is all I can say.

Cons

Everything started to deteriorate after the Platinum Equity adquisition. Management in general doesn't care about employees. Executive management mercifully misleads employees with unreal goals and objectives. Every All Hands from upper management is a show (for investors?) with numbers that don't reflect reality in which everything is good and future is bright. They mention they want to attract talent, but nothing is done towards this: there are not ideas that can be put into products, culture is awful and toxic, moral is low, and salaries are mediocre. Lower management just goes along with the game trying to keep the status quo (and maybe severance when they are gone?) They don't filter out the politics and toxicity that comes from above and instead play politics. They had executed multiple slaughters, coff... coff, layoffs, on the software business section misleading, every single time, the employees that are left telling them that was the last time. This is sick! The worse thing is that HHRR goes along with this strategy instead of somehow protecting employees. I could go on and on. My only advice to anybody trying to apply for a job at this company is stay away from it, at least while it's managed by Platinum Equity.

Pros

Ability to position your ideas to leadership and have your voice heard.

Cons

The industry is growing at a torrid pace and urgency is key - this means that customer expectations for responses are immediate and with a large company, sometimes it can take a while to get the correct answer.
