Great Potential with Poor Leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

The majority of people working there are great people who make it a family like work environment. Free Lunch and good bonuses. The company does give back to the community

Cons

Extremely poor leadership with the exception of a few. VGT likes to reward poor performers by promoting thinking that will encourage them to do better. Leaders have been recognized after it well known they don't live by the company's "Values". VGT leadership is a joke. "Leaders" get to act disrespectful but if an employee behaved the same way it wouldn't be tolerated.

Pros

+Great team members +Highly skilled team members +Work on what you want when you want +Work when you want. Lots of flexibility

Cons

-Mountains out of molehills. -Mean girl atmosphere. -Popularity contest. -Cliques. Them and us. -Lack of direction and experience of decision makers makes teams very unproductive. -Team members are blamed for lack of productivity when lack of direction, maturity, professionalism, and experience are really to blame. -Decisions made by ego. -Decision makers take more joy from watching others fail than us all succeeding. -Untrustworthy, unprofessional leadership. -Restrained, ineffective management. -Agile gone wrong. Moronic implementation of Agile misses what it means to actually be agile.

A company in transition. Not necessarily a good thing.

Pros

VGT is small enough that an individual can potentially make a meaningful impact to the company as a whole and not just toil away on things nobody will appreciate. Financial compensation is fair and supports a comfortable family lifestyle. Free lunches are provided along with other sundry benefits. Good health coverage and matching 401k contributions.

Cons

From early 2011 up through 2012 today the company has undergone a very turbulent transition from the cozy "family" feel of the operation to one which is much more regimented and corporatized. In this time many senior employees who helped shape the success and personality of VGT were dismissed, lengthy development projects were cancelled, and the entire Virginia office summarily closed in favor of new kingdoms being built in Tennessee and Nevada. These events took place without any convincing words provided as to why this was "The Right Thing to Do.". Instead the impact was "We're doing this for arbitrary reasons. Deal with it." The turmoil is far from over as many employees depart for new opportunities and their vacancies have not been filled. Meanwhile the new hires and projects in development have yet to fully gel or prove themselves with successful products on the market. The stability of the company rests on the solid and reliable revenue stream from legacy partners and support systems. This may be strong enough to last while VGT is internally broken and remade. In that respect there are many career opportunities to be had for those looking to take advantage of the situation.
