Thank you for taking the time to write this response! I am sorry that you feel that way. We do our best to make sure that all our employees receive the proper training, including flying them to different offices to meet with the appropriate experts. If an employee is having a difficult time, we have a discussion about their progress in advance, and advise them on how they can improve. We value all of our employee-owners and want them to continue to grow and succeed at VERTEX!

Not good people or practices

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.

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

Decent benefits, ESOP, PTO, paid holidays, and great opportunity to travel.

Cons

"Work 50 to bill 40" is the unwritten slogan. Work/life balance is difficult to maintain. Expectations are astronomical and employees are constantly reminded that they should be doing more. Low periods in workload usually make for a hostile work environment between supervisors and employees, but it's not the employees role to bring in clients/projects.

Thank you for your feedback, we take our employee's concerns very seriously. It's great to hear you enjoy the benefits and the opportunity to travel, but work volume and distribution of projects is an issue we're working hard to address. I'm also happy to report we have just rolled out a new on-boarding platform offering our managers the systems and support they need to give new hires a thoughtful and fully integrated on-boarding experience. Over the coming weeks/months we hope you'll see the results of all our efforts...let us know how we're doing!
