Vertex reviews

-Few opportunities for advancement or training. -Many long tenured employees and leaders who at best seem demotivated and stuck in their ways. Some individuals are active or passive saboteurs without accountability. It's interesting too that long-time employees are rewarded with a "Sabbatical" for putting in their "time" regardless if their contributions are next to nonexistent. -Considered by some as a nice culture, however upon close inspection you realize that the culture condones passive aggressive, unproductive, and dishonest behavior and that's what is referred to as "nice." -Their strategy teams are unfocused, unproductive, and uneducated about the work for which they are responsible. These teams take a long time to make decisions. Often they sponsor smaller teams to do work that would generally take a few months but instead turn into these long running projects that take years. The interesting thing is that by the time the work is done the outcome is shelved because it is no longer relevant. k -Decision making is excruciatingly long.

Leadership and management opportunities - and decisions by leadership and management can sometimes be very much influenced by internal networks of who knows who. People who do not 'network' and hang-out socially with co-workers, and just go to work, do their best job, and go home to their families are very much at a disadvantage. Career development opportunities are not as transparent as they should be, and more needs to be done for employees in terms of career development - training courses, certifications, etc.
