Great people to work with and a lot of interesting projects to focus on. Management style is great and the success of our portfolio shows that, The managers are always open to answering questions and offering further development.

There doesn't seem to be a financial benefit to loyalty with the company. Raises and salary adjustments do not match that of market value.

Pros

The overall company culture is positive and I appreciated the transparency of company forecasts. I loved the variety of projects that I was involved in. Good pay, decent benefits, and I had the privilege of working alongside extremely talented people - I never stopped learning. And if senior level management likes you, you're set.

Cons

Do your homework and ask questions if you are considering a position with VHB. Generally, contributors to Glassdoor are divided into categories: either they have had negative experiences, or they are encouraged to leave a positive review to bolster the company's rating. I'd like to provide you with an authentic look into my experience. VHB does exceptional work, but is very ego driven. If you seek guidance from your superiors on prioritizing tasks, be ready to hear critiques about your speed, commitment, and prioritization skills. The company appears reluctant to invest in some employees/departments that could aid in capacity management, and adopting the mentality that everything simply must be completed, regardless of the workload. Perfection is required here. Unfortunately, this environment discourages asking questions and brainstorming, so be prepared to know all of the answers. There's little room for error, and any failure to meet their exact standards often leads to relentless micromanagement. I've observed instances where employees were tasked with unfamiliar responsibilities, fell short of expectations, and subsequently found themselves under scrutiny, eventually either resigning or facing termination. Maintain a high degree of caution when dealing with colleagues – expect tense relationships. The prevalence of backstabbing and scapegoating is disheartening. A critical piece of advice: meticulously document every conversation, even those with your closest work confidant. It's essential to safeguard yourself. Being thorough in covering your bases is not only wise but practically a necessity. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous executives, but this experience has been unlike any other.
