Mismanaged company with no direction from leadership. Run away!

Pros

- Flexible work schedule and relaxed office environment. Depending on what team you are on, managers are generally flexible about working from home, going to appointments, etc.

Cons

- Absolutely no documented process for anything. Working on a project is a complete free-for-all. If something goes wrong, there is no accountability because there is no process for anything. Co-workers will throw one another under the bus in a heartbeat to save themselves. - Because there is no process for anything, everything is urgent or last minute. Therefore, everything is done to minimum standards. "Just get it out the door" attitude. - Leadership is a joke. They say they will set SMART goals but they don't. Nobody in the company has clear goals and means to achieve them. Nobody in a leadership position answers emails or has any idea what people below them are working on, and vice versa. Management 100% older, white men that simply talk down to anyone below them. - Pay is poor. You will not get paid for promotions. No bonus', incremental annual salary increases, not even a holiday party. Do not ever expect any sort of employee activity/party paid for. - No help from HR on anything personal you need to get done for yourself/family. - Constant layoffs and turnover. They will eliminate entire departments to save money and then hire consultants to do the work at double the cost. Absolute no value of dedicated employees. Just want to hire young people that they don't have to pay anything.

Pros

Some great people here with a lot of knowledge.

Cons

Management is clueless. Tracking card swipes daily instead of your job performance. One miss swipe without pre approved PTO and your manager gets a nasty gram. What are we ,2? Sorry I didn't p reschedule a illness. Car issues, deaths....even if they can see when and how long you log in a work daily.. People are leaving in droves and they are threatening to fire you if you work from home or approved absence.. HR reads these reviews but only acknowledge the positive ones. Serious lack of tools systems or resources. Only getting worse everyday.

Pros

Competitive salary convinced me to join, but you would be remiss for ignoring the Cons.

Cons

My experience at Vertiv was a nightmare from day one. Here's why: Chaotic Environment: The project I joined was already 6 months behind schedule, and key leadership was leaving. The Delaware facility felt like a ghost town, with empty cubicles reflecting a massive brain drain. Deceptive Onboarding: My boss misled me about transferable skills, gave me just one week to learn new systems, and provided no formal training. I was micromanaged and criticized for needing time to focus. Broken Processes: Their ECN system was absurdly bloated, requiring 20–60 approvals per change. Backlogs were constant, yet my boss blamed me for delays caused by their inefficient process. Simple tasks took months instead of days. IT Failures: A disastrous CAD/ECN migration broke thousands of file links, leaving critical parts inaccessible. IT refused to fix the issues, which crippled productivity. I quit after three months in late 2018 to save my career. This company’s mismanagement and dysfunction were unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Avoid at all costs.
